When Pianos Fall from the Sky

Poetry. In his latest collection, WHEN PIANOS FALL FROM THE SKY, Travis Denton delveseach love, each history, in search of its blood-bound truth. Here is a storytellerwith an ear and eye for detail, a bold imagery that spans a wide and rich terrain:from gypsies, guillotines, thee Hindenburg and fire and bucket brigades,to the jilted neighbor with a gun to his head. Denton takes it all in, leadingus, at full speed, into a world 'where you find yourself entirely forgiven / byevery god who lines up to greet you.'"—Dorianne Laux
