A new collection of poems from one of America's most lyrical and sonically interesting poets. Abraham Smith's Anxious Guard is a chain of cormorants and the echoic depth of their sound. It is the hidden intelligence from the heart of Wisconsin. It is a protection from the violence inflicted on the young, the violence that young people perpetrate. The collection includes poems that are as steady and captivating as the sand, and the people and places that inhabit it. The Anxious Guard is a clash of measurements, speed, and experience in sonic sensations that range from the elegiac to the joyful, in Smith's thorough thoughts about blue-collar America. Reflecting the attention of the Midwest's arrhythmia to the music of cormorants, the Anxious Guard resonates in temporal frequencies, waves ancient and modern, performed by the voices of giants.
