No Time for Dancing

Poetry. "Adam Hammer was an American original: a sweet, disturbing, happy, driven, comic surreal and tragic baseball fan whose poems graze madly among a Rube Goldbergish circus of our tonalities, foibles, commodities, and dreams. He was also brilliant beyond belief, to which this little book of gems, excerpted from the unfinished manuscript he left behind, will give ample testament. Reading it will also cause many who never knew Adam to discover that they have been missing him."—Christopher Howell
