Worldly things

"Max Ritvo Prize for Poetry : selected by Henri Cole."

In these poems, Kleber-Diggs names delight in the same breath as loss. Moments suffused with love?teaching his daughter how to drive; watching his grandmother bake a cake; waking beside his beloved to ponder trumpet mechanics?couple with moments of wrenching grief?a father?s life ended by a gun; mourning children draped around their mother?s waist; Freddie Gray?s death in police custody. Even in the refuge-space of dreams, a man calls the police on his Black neighbor. -- Amazon.
