Fiction Poetry
I say I love and I love and I love.
However, the window
will not close. However, the hawk
searches
for its nest after a storm. However, the
discarded
nail longs to hide its nakedness inside the
tire.
—from “Fork with Two Tines
Pushed Together” How to Dance
as the Roof Caves In examines America as it
faces a recession of collective mood and collective
wealth. In a central sequence, the “housing bubble” reaches
its bursting point when, with hilarious and biting outcomes,
real estate developers hire a married couple and other
down-and-out “extras” to stage a fake community to lure
prospective investors. In these marvelous poems, Nick Lantz
describes the changing American landscape with great
imagination and sharp wit.
