About the Author
Aaron Kiely founded and ran the Boston Poetry Conference from 1998-2000 (readers and panelists included Robert Creeley, Anne Waldman, and many others). His first book, The Best of My Love (UDP, 2005) was reviewed in The Colorado Review, The Boston Review, Rain Taxi, and Small Press Traffic. Kiely edited Torch, a magazine of poetry and visual art, from 2002-2013.
Praise
Aaron Kiely's poems take the right risks. They explore repetition and variation with gorgeous grace. They astonish and challenge us to live up to the meaning of our nimble believing. This is a wonderful book.
Joseph Lease
Like a scene out of an independent movie, Kiely’s poetry presents a study of suburban desperation and psychic violence made all the more powerful by the quietness of its terms.
