nThe prose poems in Patrick Swaneys debut collection, Hand Over Hand Over the Edge of the World, are suspended between a world we think we know and a world where anything can happen. Manatees take over a bathtub, an egg becomes a kite, a man finds a warning in an empty lot and brings it home to raise with his wife. The absurdity at the heart of this collection is rooted in an impulse to examine the rituals of living. Using language that is disarmingly direct, these compact narratives consistently surprise and clarify. In their search for meaning, the poems find truths in the unexpected that remind us what we have in common. n nn nPatrick Swaneys warm, strange, precise poems are causing me to rethink myn nrelationship with the line.n n- Kyle Minor, author of Praying Drunkn nn nIn the tradition of Russell Edson, whose work this book brings to mind, these prosen npoems never fail to disorient, surprise and delight. Sly and disarming, they aren nintellectual queries couched as fabulist vignettes, which, at their best, reveal ourn nordinary world as the strange, absurd, mysterious experience it truly is.n n- Mark Cox, author of Knowingn
