A Month's Worth of Instructional Poems is a poetic handbook for exploring humanity through a surreal lens. This book elevates the mortality of the human experience and enhances one s life view. With an eye on nature and the everyday, these short prose poems explore the world not as it is, but as it would be if poetry was in the foregrounded of the human experience. The poems manage at once to be playful, light, and even comical while still being deeply meaningful and far-reaching. With language that is accessible and purposeful, diction that sounds like a friendship, and images that sizzle in one s memory long after the mind s eye imagines them, A Month's Worth of Instructional Poems is full of the kind of wit and wisdom that sticks around after the book is read and re-shelved.
