Adult Night at Skate World

<span>The poems in<i><span> </span>Adult Night at Skate World</i><span> </span>sift out the glitter in the gravel unearthing both heartbreak and moments of transcendence i</span><span>n
 the seemingly mundane. These are songs of the anti-poetic overlooked 
and assumed lost cause: Craigslist Missed Connections getting snubbed 
at a rock show middle-aged roller rink attendees the class loser a 
swan longing to mate with a paddleboat. But instead of scorn they 
invite our laughter. Instead of dismissal compassion. In place of cool 
cynicism awe.</span><span> </span><span> <br></span>
