In Dean Rader's energized and inventive new book, the poet considers identity of self and society as a Wikipedia page--sculpted and transformed by the ever-present push and pull of politics, culture, and unseen forces. And, in the case of Rader, how identity can be affected by the likes of Paul Klee's paintings and the characters from the children's stories about Frog and Toad. Rader's cagey voice is full of humor and inquiry, warmly inviting readers to fully participate in the creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom How We Survive: A Tryptich: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis afternoon I took a nap\u003cbr\u003ewearing a costume that looks\u003cbr\u003ejust like me.
