The calm, clear voice is funny and smart and kind, a great companion, just the sort of friend who points out or does the unexpected, in a way that turns out to be unexpectedly illuminating. And maybe a bit dangerous in a necessary way. The poems search out and name, with care and great attention and equally great generosity, those strange moments and feelings that we forget are there. But we need to remember. Imagine you are dead and let the children pile rocks on your body and pretend they are gems. Then go home and turn out the lights. \"Whatever happens next\/ is up to you.\" -Matthew Zapruder, author of \u003ci\u003eFather's Day\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWhy Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems in Jacob Chapman's \u003ci\u003eAre We There Yet \u003c\/i\u003ewith verve explore the paradoxical world we live in. Familiar landscapes made brilliantly unfamiliar. Unfamiliar people made meaningfully familiar. To be with these poems is to open oneself up to the great depths of feeling and thinking that a substantive engagement with paradox can reveal. The poems in \u003ci\u003eAre We There Yet\u003c\/i\u003e point to something vital and expansive about the strangeness we live in - \"So thanks for the triangles.\/I didn't know what to do with them\/ at first, but now I do.\" These poems are patient and playful. They are perceptive and poignant. Read these poems and then read them again. -Emily Pettit, author of \u003ci\u003eGoat in the Snow\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlue Flame\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Chapman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948521334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948521338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Human Error Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Jacob Chapman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517180195071,"sku":"9781948521338","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e823a0ce-b565-4f58-a7f4-1cc26d8ccfab.jpg?v=1778730442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-wife-made-this-possible-jacob-chapman-9781948521338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
