Inhaltsangabe

Aaron Fagan's debut collection glitters with contemporary life, from poems on love, travel, cartoons and shopping, sitting alongside lyrics on channel surfing, philosophy and God. Gathering together work from over a decade of writing, Fagan takes us on tour through his metaphoric Garage, the title signaling his musical forbears in punk and electronic music. On our way, through improvisations, trials and errors, we join him in a world where invention and failure are indistinguishable parts of the journey, and Fagan makes the ideal companion, in love with the world and its characters, filled with hope and humor.

Making Light

The gum on my left shoe as I walk

Across the carpet makes a sound

Close to little spits of radio static.

And the tug it gives my leg lets me

Know I am aware of my walking,

Lets me know I know where I am –

I am in my life, and in the library.

This is a rarity for me and I let

The rarity of it in, jog my memory,

And allow myself to wonder where

I was the last time this happened

And am I free enough to smile.
