Zacharis First Book Award\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Wrestling with desire, shame, and the complications of attempting to resist one's own nature, \u003ci\u003eHow to Love Everyone and Almost Get Away with It\u003c\/i\u003e offers a tragicomic tour of a heart in midlife crisis. Populated by unruly angels, earthbound astronauts, xylophones, wordplay, and glitter glue, these wildly associative poems transform the world line by line, image by image. Part confessional, part kitsch, and often self-deprecating, this debut collection offers an honest and tender exploration of love's necessary absurdity.
