We are all losing all the time. Four titanic forcestime, mortality, forgetting, and confusionwin victories over us each day. We all know this yet we keep dreaming of beautiful fulfillments, shapely culminations, devotions nobly sustainedin family life, in romance, in work, in citizenship. What obsesses Halliday in Losers Dream On is how to recognize reality without relinquishing the pleasure and creativity and courage of our dreaming.Hallidays poetry exploits the vast array of dictions, idioms, rhetorical maneuvers, and tones available to reallife speakers (including speakers talking to themselves). Often Halliday gives a poem to a speaker who is distressed, angry, confused, defensive, selfexcusing, or driven by yearning, so that the poem may dramatize the speakers state of mind while also implying the poets ironic perspective on the speaker. Meanwhile, a few other poems (for instance A Gender Theory and Thin White Shirts and First Wife and You Lament) try to push beyond irony into earnestness and wholehearted declaration. The tension between irony and belief is the engine of Hallidays poetry.
