Description: "A poetry collection that hunts for meaning in the ordinary and astonishing.Comment Card offers up a world of juxtapositions, searching for equilibrium between the sublime and the mundane: a man watching young lovers kiss while poisoned ants rain down on his porch. A Christmas tree-needle collection and Jimmy Durante. The litter of a three-hole punch and a daughter leaving for college. Tamarinds and the International Space Station. A crushed snail and the Holy Trinity. These poems wonder, how did we get here, and, by the way, where are we?"--
Brief description: Jim Daniels has published numerous collections of poetry and fiction. A native of Detroit, he lives in Pittsburgh and teaches in the Alma College low-residency MFA program.
Review Quotes: "Daniels' poems take everything in--all our foibles and failings, our loves and refusals--and make all of it memorable, tinged with regret, but still ours, still meaningful, still worth the work and grit of poetry."-- "Allison Joseph"
