Summary

"Radius of Light uses the tension between uneasy City and restorative Nature to spark the deeper imagination. Joshua Auerbach's first full-length collection dazzles with poems whose subjects range from aging tattoo enthusiasts, pacing panthers, and ocean whirlpools, to precise reflections on (sometimes sinister) foreign scenes. Full of primal imagery, his poems soothe, yet also vex with their portrayal of humankind's stark desecrations and the karmic payoff that awaits us."--BOOK JACKET.
