The Mechanical Bird

by Asa Boxer

Opening with a rapid-fire disquisition on lying and ending with the poet's award-winning meditation on a craftsman's workshop, this collection of exquisitely crafted poems reveals that things are never what they seem. Suffused with vivid imagination that shakes up everyday details and settings, this debut constantly tests the claims of authenticity over artifice.
