Description
Poetry. Michael Earl Craig's third full-length collection of expertly crystalline yet wholly unexpected renderings of everyday existence. A masterwork of lucid dreaming, THIN KIMONO continues Craig's singular breed of brilliant and generously uncanny poems, reflecting, while utterly slanting, the idiosyncrasies of daily existence in the oft-incomprehensible world. "I like being in the world of Craig's poems. Anything can happen, and probably will, and it will affect me in small or large ways that I couldn't have imagined. The precision of their imagery keeps me reeling with delight"—James Tate.
