I Cut My Finger

"I Cut My Finger" is Stuart Ross's first full-length poetry collection since his acclaimed "Hey, Crumbling Balcony! Poems New & Selected" (2003). The poems here show Ross's ever-expanding breadth, from his trademark humour and surrealism, to pointedly experimental works and poems of human anguish. Here, a poet includes a letter threatening suicide in his submission of poems to a literary journal; a businessman dons flippers to swim along the sidewalk to his downtown office; the U.S. military follows a trail of red ants to glacial redemption; the writer finds profound joy in a tower of canned niblets. But beneath the slapstick exterior of so many of Ross's poems there lurk dark threats and darker pleasures.Ross, Stuart is the author of 'I Cut My Finger ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781895636796 and ISBN 1895636795.
