Hummock in the Malookas: Poems

<strong>A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year; winner of the 1994 National Poetry Series.</strong> In the singular landscape of Matthew Rohrers first book of poems, the weather, the food, even the household appliances come to life. "A few pages into this book," says the Minneapolis City Pages, "and youll start glancing sideways at the terrain, which . . . looks suddenly vital." These quirky poems entertain and delicately point to truth. Rohrer illuminates a land of skewed realities where the impossible seems familiar, the sacher torte is afraid to be eaten, and its always dusk in the forest.
