Half Promised Land Pa
The world displayed in the poems of Thomas Lux is a fairly dangerous place, a half promised land, a region where turtles languish of thirst, where a lifebuoy crawls with spiders, where a moving car hits a moving moose and both survive, where what tends to terrify us tends also to make us feel safe, where \"rattlesnakes feel at home,” where \"your belief in justice/merges with your belief in dreams.\"
- Surreal Poetry: Lux finds wonder and menace in the everyday, in worlds where tarantulas claim a lifebuoy and turtles languish with thirst.
- Dark Humor: Witness a collision where a moving car hits a moving moose and both survive, captured with a deadpan wit that defines Lux’s unique voice.
- Observational Poetry: From sleepy New England towns to the quiet dramas in a backyard, these poems are rooted in a deeply American landscape.
- Accessible yet Profound: Written in clear, direct language, this collection grapples with the biggest questions—where our belief in justice merges with our belief in dreams.
