An exciting new collection from a poet whose debut was praised by Colorado Review as "a seduction by way of small astonishments"Nate Klug has been hailed by the Threepenny Review as a poet who is "an original in Eliot's sense of the word." In Hosts and Guests, his exciting second collection, Klug revels in slippery roles and shifting environmen "Quirky and philosophical. . . . the poems in Hosts and Guests are . . . both exploratory and concise; they wander without filler or clutter. Klug's descriptions are sharp, subtle, perceptive. . . . Here is the startling opposite of dogma's violence: a free thinker who keeps running into God despite his disavowals."---Caroline Pittman, Threepenny Review
