Extras
“When I looked at him across the table,
I wanted to lean over,
crying out for what was lost.
He sat there talking, talking.
And our mother wanted to believe his new story.
And our father wanted to remove
the bolt from their bedroom door.
I drove to a bar and ordered a whiskey
then another and another until I felt
the warm stupor wash over me
Wasn’t I my brother now?
Hadn’t we been interchangeable all along?”

Recenzii
“Snider navigates the complex intersections of addition with class, sexuality, masculinity, and family bonds with skilled generosity in this powerful fourth collection.”
“There is a mythic precision in Blood Harmony, a collection of the limits of recovery and language (‘There was always need in the needle’); heartbreaking elegy; and always Indiana, a place of ice and kerosene but also ‘unmown grass, sweetness, rain.’ No American poet is as empathetic as Bruce Snider.”
“In Blood Harmony, ‘the truck stop / is the ghost of a truck stop’ and songs of George Strait strike lightning. Snider’s devastating love poems for a ‘brother of Indiana tattooed on his calf’ show the body alive in itself, in this battle of desire and blood’s machinery.”
