  A New York Times Editors’ Choice book from the author of the award-winning Tap Out – “a gritty, insightful debut” (Washington Post) – Edgar Kunz’s second poetry collection propels the reader across the shifting terrain of late-capitalist America.  
   Temp jobs, conspiracy theories, squatters, talk therapy, urban gardening, the robot revolution: this collection fixes its eye on the strangeness of labor, through poems that are searching, keen, and wry. The virtuosic central sequence explores the untimely death of the poet’s estranged father, a handyman and addict, and the brothers left to sort through the detritus of a life long lost to them. Through lyrical, darkly humorous vignettes, Kunz asks what it costs to build a home and a love that not only lasts but sustains.

  INCREMENTS
  
  
  I live by increments, single
  
  
  breaths of an ambient air,
  
  
  marking off hours, days.
  
  
   
  
  
  Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio
  in sequentiae, edging every step
  
  
  forward before venturing the next.
  
  
   
  
  
  Staggering up towards the stony
  
  
  crests of the foothills, dusty, I am
  
  
  almost undone with weariness, only half
  
  
  believing that the view will widen.
  
  
   
  
  
  In my falling upward into your home,
  
  
  O Faithful One, stay with me,
  
  
  your wind music playing the ear of
  
  
  my mind like an instrument.
  
  
   
  
  "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw
