520    "The scariest sentence in the English language is brief, 
       threatening, and hopeful. It is deceptive, simple, and as 
       common as water: anything is possible. This second 
       collection by Steve Scafidi is haunted by the possible and
       "the bells of the verb to be" that "ring-a-ding-ding 
       calling us / to the holy dark of this first / warm night 
       of Spring." When anything is possible, Scafidi finds, 
       horror is as likely as delight. In poems both meditative 
       and defiant he mourns the eventual loss of all that we 
       love and finds consolation, wherever possible, in the 
       rhythm of common words and "the sacred guesswork" of the 
       imagination. Here is the dangerous world we all have in 
       common. Here is a brief and hopeful book."--Publisher's 
       website.
