Just a touch of creasing and a few faint scuffs to wrappers, very good plus.

A rare and impressive book of poems, self-published by an underknown poet, Ezra Dixon. The work covers love, loss and desire, with deep and heartfelt reflections on the human experience and everyday emotions. Titles include “Pretty & Talented People,” “Cities Where I Don’t Roam,” “She’s Long Legged Nervousness” and “Cathedral of Bottles.” An ode to “The Dryer” explains, “My mother used to turn it on when she put me to bed / My sweaty soccer clothes inside / This helped me sleep, and vacuum sealed / A magic stench into the fibers … I was only called in when we were losing, / I only put the shirt on when I’d been up all night”
