Domestic Yoga
by Jack Christian
Jack Christian's charming follow-up to his debut Family System (2012, Colorado Poetry Prize) reads as if compiled of epiphanies had while vacuuming. Weird and profound, and often weirdly profound, these poems make delicate sculptures of the mind's daily work as Christian seeks to reconcile the sacred with the profane, the romantic with the banal, the public with the private self.
