Here at last, _The Richard Nixon Snow Globe_ by Rachel Loden, from Wild Honey Press.
36 pages, blue strata cover, black endpapers, hand sewn with blue twist.
It's 'Honey, I shrunk your hubris' as giants of culture (popular and unpopular) attain more human proportions within the multiple perspectives of these sharp, moving poems. This and more. Lots more. These lucid, limber lines accommodate an extraordinary range.
