Which way is that thing I don't like?

Nick Crowley's collection, "Which way is that thing I don't like?", is a clinically precise introduction to the baffling world we inhabit. Every everyday moment seems to offer its own juxtaposition: a shadow, a reflection, a mirror image.

"At dusk the sharks come closer to shore

i keep an eye out for fins"

The disturbing moment immediately undercut,

"Until i get bored

and earnest concern fades to lusty hope

i pray for a black fin"

Crowley may not offer many definitive answers, but at least you are certain to enjoy the questions...
