American Manscape by Daniel Romo
Daniel Romo's American Manscape transforms the myth of the American landscape into something inward and domestic: the emotional terrain of middle age. These poems move through empty nests, tested faith, and the nuance of lived days, guided by Romo's characteristic mix of humor and wit. In one moment he is "still learning the value of domesticity-how to maximize dishwasher space"; in another he imagines his soul "forgotten in the dryer," tumbling endlessly through the cycles of ordinary life. What emerges is a portrait of adulthood built from the small rituals that sustain intimacy-shared rides, late-night purchases, lingering doubts, and the quiet grace of forgiveness. Where the American landscape offers polished horizons, American Manscape reveals the more complicated terrain beneath them. These fresh poems reward the reader with the time and tenacity "to stop and smell the newly bloomed juxtaposes."| SKU | Unavailable |
