A Hummock in the Malookas: Poems

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year; winner of the 1994 National Poetry Series. In the singular landscape of Matthew Rohrer's first book of poems, the weather, the food, even the household appliances come to life. A few pages into this book, says the Minneapolis City Pages, and you'll start glancing sideways at the terrain, which . . . looks suddenly vital. These quirky poems entertain and delicately point to truth. Rohrer illuminates a land of skewed realities where the impossible seems familiar, the sacher torte is afraid to be eaten, and it's always dusk in the forest.
