Odds & Ends

What if the ordinary world is stranger than we give it credit for? A fitted sheet becomes an adversary. An invisible opponent becomes a tactical emergency. A junk drawer becomes an archive. In this poetry collection, Graham turns an attentive eye toward small collisions, inconveniences, absurdities, memories, and quiet losses that make up an ordinary life. These poems are funny without always announcing the joke, tender without asking for sympathy, and occasionally more serious than they first appear. Some are lost. Some are kept. Some simply refuse to leave. Together, they form the odd collection of moments, memories, and peculiarities we carry with us--and somehow, this is what remains.
