Poetry. "Howard Altmann interrogates the sky, the light, the world, about their intentions. If he seldom finds reassuring answers, he finds something better: 'When all that consoled consoles no longer / loneliness finds a room inside the one it knows.' These poems are as essential as a glass of water"--John Ashbery. Poems from IN THIS HOUSE have appeared in Poetry, Ploughshares, New England Review, and Open City.
