Description

Award-winning poet Matthew Dickman returns with poems that engage with his own childhood in southeast Portland white neighborhood, suffusing them with ghosts of longing, shame, and vulnerability. In the 1980s, parents are out of control and children are in chaos. Wonderland reminds us that, while these neighborhoods are home to guns, skateboards, fights, booze, and heroin, and filled with punk rockers, skinheads, poor kids, and single moms, they are also places of innocence and love.

FROM “ASTRONAUT”

colors of candy and car oil, moving through

the gravity like ice water. Is it like that?
