Author: Aaron Fagan Publisher: Pilot Press (2023) "Aaron Fagan's colloquial voice--by turns mordant, enlightening, despairing, but always witty--not only describes a deeply compell ing, interior emotional atmosphere, but a world we've made together, and how best to live in it. An astonishing collection." —Hilton Als "Tight, heady, and beautiful: Aaron Fagan’s sonnets obey an invisible procedure that lends his lines a sculptural, haunted equilibrium. Reading these finely wrought poems, I felt like I was being massaged inside a hall of mirrors, and the masseurs, many-handed, were legendary poets of the past. Pretty Soon is wisdom literature, comfort food, night school, Socratic candy, and high-wire elegance." —Wayne Koestenbaum Show more
