Readers of Wiman's earlier books will recognize the sharp characterizations and humor'From her I learned the earthworm's exemplary openmindedness, / its engine of discriminate shit'as well as his particular brand of reverent rage: 'Lord if I implore you please just please leave me alone / is that a prayer that's every instant answered?'
