from "House of Fact, House of Ruin"
"House of Fact, House of Ruin" is the newest collection from poet Tom Sleigh. Released in February by Graywolf Press, we're thrilled to offer you this preview, with links to order from Graywolf and Amazon. "Very much of our present moment, in which fact can so easily be manufactured and ruin so easily achieved by pressing 'Send' or pulling a trigger, these poems range across the landscapes of contemporary experience. Whether a militia in Libya or a military base in Baghdad, a shantytown in east Africa or an opulent mall on Long Island, these subjects and locations resonate with the psychic and social costs of having let the genie of war, famine, and climate change out of the lamp in the first place."
