Call and Response in Bloomington, MN

In Rob Carney’s eighth collection, the titles call out in one voice and the poems respond in another, sometimes directly, sometimes diagonally, but always memorably. The book begins with a current event that sparks a time-travel quest for justice, then it keeps on journeying: from Utah to the ocean; from humor to elegy; from lessons learned at Sea School to a literary church and final congregational Amen. Among the poems here is one titled “I’ve Still Got My Passport.” Think of this book as a passport too; it’s a trip.
