Poetry Bus Tour participant: Throughout September and October, over one hundred poets, along with musicians, magazines, filmmakers and journalists, will participate as the Wave Books Poetry Bus traverses North America, bringing innovative poetry to over 40 big cities and small towns across the U.S. and Canada. Wier makes regular and frequent appearances in academic venues (readings, conferences)--a practice that will continue with the publication of this book.

"Remember when I told you about the memory competitions?" asks Dara Wier in her latest collection. Memories, apologies, and misunderstanding compete in this series of lyric poems that are intricately connected in their ability to recollect and speak to one another.
