This is a theatrical book of dilapidated houses and overgrown gardens, of passageways and thresholds, edges, prosceniums, unearthings, and root systems. The unstable property lines here rove from heaven to hell, troubling proportion and upsetting propriety in the name of unfathomable propagation. Are all the gates in this book folly? Are the walls too easily scaled to hold anything back or impose self-confinement? What won't a poem do to get to the other side?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobyn Schiff\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eRevolver\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWorth\u003c\/i\u003e (both published by the University of Iowa Press), and the chapbook \u003ci\u003eNovel Influenza\u003c\/i\u003e (The Catenary Press).
