RX - Hardcover

by Josh Sapan (Author)

In his debut collection, Josh Sapan guides us through a lifetime of love and loss as he navigates death-of loved ones, of crickets, of houseplants-in an American landscape teeming with wonder and the promise of rebirth-in the stars, the wind, the minnows in the bay. In Rx, the prescription is literal ("blue-fog medicine breath") and figurative ("Love so big, / it comes in a gigantic red box."). Sapan offers a glimpse into the sometimes painfully delicate and beautiful parts of life.
