To Literally You

Poetry. Paul Killebrew's third book, TO LITERALLY YOU, is largely concerned with the passage of time and how the sincerity and tenderness of domestic life endure despite greater horrors and "the loop of assemblage / this world so relentlessly / resembles." "We commit crimes / and show ourselves and each other / unbelievable mercy," Killebrew writes, and he's a human rights lawyer, so he should know.
