In Colorado Book Award Winner Chris Ransick's Never Summer: Poems From Thin Air, poetry flows like a stream collecting the debris of love, fear, and frailty. At each eddying current, tiny details of everyday life are exquisitely unfurledand enlarged to reveal a world as familiar as a child falling asleep on her father's shoulder; as whimsical as an afternoon spent watching girls playing rugby; as unnatural as the dead dancing in the snow. Approachable and imaginative, Ransick's authentic collection received accolades upon its original publication. Here it is againâ€"with ten new poemsâ€"to rediscover or explore anew.
