The Knife Collector - Paperback

by Diane Kistner (Editor), Jesse Breite (Author)

The Knife Collector features a speaker who cannot escape weighing each present moment and image against the parallel narratives of his youth and his family in Arkansas. While traveling through time and space, these poems explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual landscape that is the speaker's youth and negotiate a path to his fledgling adult life in Atlanta, Georgia.
