Turning from poetry to prose, acclaimed poet Stephen Dunn here experiments with short related prose pieces that play off one another in the manner of jazz improvisations. These pairs cover such subjects as "Hypocrisy/Precision", "Money/Indulgence", and "Anger/Generosity", among others. The wisdom and startling verbal turns we've come to expect from Dunn's poetry are everywhere in the 90 miniatures (45 pairs) that compose this volume.
