With varying degrees of hope and affection, Hazard is pulling for the small and the vulnerable to interrupt the sky, to declare themselves in one way or another. The book's three parts are titled \"Small,\" \"Beautiful Clowns,\" and \"Home Before Dark.\" In each section, the poems move from darkness toward cautious affirmation. The light comes at angles, muted by realism and shadow, but it seems right there, on the horizon, if we look hard. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hazard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1622889495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781622889495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen F.
