The Fires of Heraclitus

<p>The poems in <em>The Fires of Heraclitus</em> run the gamut from funny to acerbic to heartbreaking. Within them exes spend their last phone call quoting song lyrics a father longs to play baseball with his son Medusa roams the dating apps and the Oklahoma sun flares as it can only there. Here Paul Juhasz exposes a surprise of adulthood: that the drama of our lives often comes without drama but is instead dismaying subversive startling and often quieter than we expected. It is no stretch to say that <em>The Fires of Heraclitus </em>is Juhasz's finest collection of poems yet.</p>
