Conversation like poems await the reader in this new collection.  The poems speak with a forthrightness in varying degrees of powerful moments.  From the poem “1989”:  “I have heard of earth burial, river burial, sky burial. / Being a poet I give you, Kirk / —though you are alive,  / forgive me—an ink burial.”  Wall Barger expresses such a vision of the moment.  His poems manifest so much vision and purpose.  He uniquely includes four different poems titled the same as the title of the book.  Each poem serves as a pillar or pendulum in the book’s overall theme.
