The details are always there, slightly askew, so believable you accept them against your will. And wake up in a world of insight and conviction. These are marvelous poems, ones that help us see what might have been or could have been, in a world full of light. - James Tate In James Haug's poems, precision of observation and plain speaking comfortably coexist with authentic strangeness, in a way I feel is deeply true. The speakers in these poems are friendly, familiar and knowing, but also a bit distanced; they seem also always oriented towards the mysterious, and therefore towards possibility. I love reading these poems, laughing, feeling silent, and drifting off into what feel to me like very real lucid necessary dreams. - Matthew Zapruder Sometimes we go looking for poetry because we are looking for a conversation that defies predictable directions. In James Haug's poems we are so lucky to be in the presence of a generous, complex, surprising, and lucid collection. We are steadily sure of why this poetry is here. We're grateful, we're enriched, we're sustained by it. - Dara Wier\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dream Horse Pr","offers":[{"title":"Legend of the Recent Past | James Haug | Paperback | 9780982115541 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1730590 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48167826030744,"sku":"1730590","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61vZhLthz6L.jpg?v=1771955411","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/legend-of-the-recent-past","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
