David Lawrence

"I take out a picture of you and argue with it," writes NYC poet David Lawrence in Lane Changes. Strange, visceral, knowing voice. A voice that turns against itself, defines its destiny only to wriggle out of it. A voice full of riveting, haunted tenderness. Lane Changes is volatile: a hilarious anecdote that ends in sudden silence, a half-open wound. A fascinating book. --Publisher's review by D. Nurkse.
