Classic Soundtracks Vol. 3

Celeste Auge's second collection of poetry is both a celebration and an interrogation of what connects us. Skip Diving inhabits the small joys and disasters that shape a world. A father returns after over twenty years, a woman considers metaphysics as she vacuums her house, a long-term relationship is dissected. In the title poem, a dead woman is imaginatively reclaimed from the contents of a bin. These are poems that reveal ordinary miracles, shaking out the unlit edges of life into the open air, line by distinctive line.
