Synopsis
Nancy Eimers grew up in a suburb outside Chicago during the Cold War era when sirens and bomb shelters prepared children for unimaginable disaster in the midst of ordinary life. She learned that "terror was commonplace," as it was for Anne Frank watching and waiting from her attic hideaway. In this first collection of her poetry, Eimers portrays a world obsessed by death, "where teacups wait to shatter/and breath is a small rash promise." Poems on Hiroshima, Yucca Flats, and graveyards dwell on this directly, while in others death is never far beneath the surface, a fatal fascination. Fervent rituals of everydayness try to deny death's constant imminence, yet its presence overshadows life. "And if what makes the world/a terrible place for kids is the little/maybe, no wonder/we live in it vague and unpestering," she writes. These are powerful, disturbing poems that offer no easy response to death, only the occasional bit of friendship or love and the realization that "for now, all we can do is take care of each other/from the outside."

- u***u (725)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- 9***n (325)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
