This posthumous volume brings together the poems of Tom Andrews, whose untimely death in 2001 cut off a career marked by early achievement and remarkable innovation. It comprises two previously published books, The Brother's Country and The Hemophiliac's Motorcycle, and two unpublished manuscript, closing with two late uncollected poems.
"Tom was singular and luminous, as is his work. The leaves just burst from his fingers. He had that odd stance to the world and its lanugage that made whatever he wrote seem new and just discovered, like treasure hauled up into the sunlight from the ocean floor."
