The Ministry of Emergency Situations

Poetry. "If you are new, as I was, to the poems of Todd Swift you will find a feast of moods and modes in his fantastic batch of selected poems. This collection displays an amazing poetic breadth bounding from popular culture to religion to family. Elegiac, whimsical, meditative, THE MINISTRY OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS is a cornucopia of resonant songs and insights. Todd Swift is a revelation."—Terrance Hayes
