In this book of daring and introspection, John Sibley Williams considers the capriciousness of youth, the terrifying loss of cultural identity and self-identity, and what it means to live in an imperfect world. He reveals each body as made up of all bodies, histories, and shared dreams of the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In these poems absence can be held, the body's dust is just dust, and though childhood is but a poorly edited memory and even our well-intentioned gestures tend toward ruin, Williams nonetheless says, \"I'm pretty sure, everything within us says something beautiful.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Sibley Williams\u003c\/b\u003e serves as editor of the \u003ci\u003eInflectionist Review\u003c\/i\u003e and works as a literary agent.
