Description
X in the Tickseed is a gorgeous, riveting meditation on memory, mortality, art-making, and the complications of living. Equal parts lyric, narrative, and philosophical, Ed Falco's poems remind us that the world is beautiful and terrible in equal measures." - Erika Meitner "In its masterful control of language and form, its clarity and layered complexity, this book is itself a work of beauty, one that will last for a long while." - Eric Nelson "Both smart and heartfelt, these poems are meant to be not nibbled but devoured, again and again." - David Kirby
