"Jason Edwards is courageous, bold and extraordinarily honest. He writes about imprecise relationships with an exploratory precision that left me repeatedly gasping in recognition. He writes about physical love with a matter-of-fact lack of embarrassment that is startling, powerful and reminiscent of Genet. He also uses and subverts the sonnet form to provide a kind of memoir in poetry, which reaches deep into the physical and spiritual world of the poet. There is no flowery language in these sinewy poems, just a writer confronting the evolving faces of truth about the world, his relationships and himself. A beautiful first collection." James Nash, author of Some Things Matter: 63 Sonnets

Beautiful girl children running, tears streaming to be gathered in the arms of their time unseen Grandparents, staccato Hokkien spoken at rapid fire, drawling Texans drooling over Starbucked booty, repellant Rodrigos emanating lovingtongued lewdities and I in my landscape, unravelling. Natalie Nathanson, in thrall to the motions of the planets, took me in.

A huge storm has started. The clouds have darkened. The wind is howling. Jason, becoming quite scared and has found himself under the protection of his mother's arm on the couch. Wrapped up in a blanket he asks if the rain and lightening will get in the house. Playfully, Jason's mom encourages him to use his imagination to protect and save them.
