What is The World's Room (Phoenix Poets Series) about?

<p><p><i>The World's Room</i> is a dynamic first collection in which the literary and the personal, the elevated and the slangy, the sacred and the profane are beautifully intertwined. From nursery rhymes to riddles to prose poems, Joshua Weiner's work displays boundless imaginative and linguistic possibilities.<p></p><h3>Boston Review - Alan Shapiro</h3><p>Beyond the formal and imaginative energies enacted in the verse, what I cherish in Weiner's poetry is the vision of identity those energies serve. For the person implied in the nervy, surprising, yet always precise language of these poems, identity isn't fixed or fated, hidden away inside us waiting to be found. Rather, identity is something continuously made and remade in the crucible of social life-less an entity than an open-ended range of imaginative and linguistic possibilities that the rigors, obligations, and accidents of life simultaneously require and impede.</p>
