Cisewski constructs a swaggering, tender, Carneyesque Fargo of the mind (“Do we love Heaven more than God?”), a place that relentlessly arrests and releases our loved ones. This is a book of poems that fares forever forward, quixotic, in the fullest sense of the word: picaresque, curious, errant, and hilarious. In a midwestern odyssey at once metaphysical and emphatically real, Cisewski confronts (as Nancy Cunard once wrote) “every windmill in a landscape of windmills.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nightboat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020905496816,"sku":"9780982264577","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780982264577_p0.jpg?v=1763888036","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780982264577","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
