Poetry. "The latest collection of dazzlers from one of the few poets writing today who fills me with envy. Lux is such an antidote to the post-confessional poetry that's all about your broken heart.... He's interested in history, geology, oceanography. His poems are based on the world, though I'm sure he's writing about himself."—Billy Collins
