Inhaltsangabe

Poetry takes the wheel whenever ordinary language fails. It reaches for what we know but can't quite say-the ache of longing and loss, the freedom of the open road, meless wisdom arriving just in me from a Rastafarian stranger's flee ng words on a city street. Wherever Your Laughter Lives is a collec on of 19 interconnected poems, occupying the space between ques oning, knowing and saying, while moving through the dual realms of feeling and thought. These poems move from loss and illness to spirituality and unexpected grace, all centered around a single ques on: what does it mean to make it home safely? It was cra ed because the wri en word has the ability to reach where the spoken cannot-because this world and loving rela onships are too precious to neglect and squander. Throughout, the voice is dis nc ve and diverse, capable of a child's pure delight or a drowning man's stoicism. Containing the voices of Kerouac and Buber, Dante and Hamlet, Sacagawea and Ra, its se ngs conjure up Central Park's Ramble, the NYC subway, breaching whales, and the neon lights of worn-down roadside bars. Above all, it is a book about a life: a brother lost too soon, a father's love spoken through a game of catch, turbulence weathered and survived, and the quiet grace of learning what it means to overcome one's failures and find a safe harbor, with family, from the storm.
