You Good Thing

Author: Dara Wier

Publisher: Wave Books (2013)

Dara Wier's loose sonnets insist on a living language in the face of death, cycling and vibrant as the water that runs through them.

"This anti-elegy, both reverent and funny, anticipates the funny reverence that Wier finds, makes up, and sustains throughout her decades of subsequent writing."
