When Cappo's speaker returns home for holidays, \"memories \/ of hangdog childhood seep in \/ like methane.\" Despite temporal distance, he perpetually finds himself in the museum of paternal absence, the house his father left, where \"ghosts whisper\" and \"frames \/ fade to shame.\" From this possessed site, the collection bravely asks, how does one make sense of boyhood? Become a man without guidance? As the certainties of a religious upbringing vanish, the physical and spiritual boundaries of the world threaten to disintegrate. From depression, to political violence, to the certainty of death, Cappo's exigent debut ventures to discover an intimate humanity against all odds. At these poems' horizons, a tenacity remains, a determination to find sweetness, candor, and connection in this troubled world, where \"the air's still, \/\/ The ground a trembling silence,\" yet \"scathed we set out again.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthony Cappo is the author of the poetry chapbook, \u003ci\u003eMy Bedside Radio\u003c\/i\u003e.
