Dear Weirdo in Bloomington, MN

Abraham Smith's
Dear Weirdo
is a wayward romp that offers prismatic insight into the nature of love, loss, and home along the way. With a spellbinding immediacy, Smith rides a prophetic cadence through town, into the sky, and down the "gut's lonely road." The deeply familiar reappears-neither dust-covered nor bathed in golden light-but as a continuous explosion in this book-length poem, drawing the reader into a personal history refracted through a lyricism utterly Smith's own.
