These witty poems ache to save the world-infusing light, energy, and humor into everyday life.
Padgett's title poem asks: "How long do you want to go on being the person you think you are? / How Long, a city in China." With the arrival of his first grandchild, Padgett becomes even more inspired to confront the eternal mysteries with a wry, rueful honesty. This elegiac and witty collection illuminates the world at large and at small-from the Great Wall of China to the radiant details of the everyday-and brings wonder and pleasure with it.
