<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>My Index of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge</em> is a fierce and original collection--its generosity of voice and emotional range announce the arrival of a major new poet.</p><p>At the age of twelve, Paul Guest suffered a bicycle accident that left him paralyzed for life. But out of sudden disaster evolved a fierce poetic sensibility--one that blossomed into a refuge for all the grief, fury, and wonder at life forever altered. Although its legacy lies in tragedy, the voice of these brilliant poems cuts a broad swath of emotions: whether he is lamenting the potentiality of physical experience or imagining the electric temptations of sexuality, Guest offers us a worldview that is unshakable in its humanity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A beautiful, breathless torrent of language that is dark or insightful or funny or any combination thereof, but always on the mark, always riveting. . . . <i>My Index of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge</i> is a terrific book. "--Mark Strand<br><br>"Astonishing."--Jorie Graham<br><br>"Guest takes the reader on a path like few contemporary poets offer."--Chicago Sun-Times<br>
