D.A. Powell, one of contemporary poetry's most intriguing, singular voices, wrote the poetry trilogy Tea (1998), Lunch (2000), and Cocktails (2004), which was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. In his new collection, Chronic, the San Francisco-based poet strikes out for the farther territories of love and comes back from those fields with loss, with flowers faded, "blossom blast and dieback." Chronic describes the flutter and cruelty of erotic encounter, temptation, and bitter heartsickness, but with Powell's deep lyric beauty and his own brand of dark wit. "No accessible poet of his generation is half as original, and no poet as
original is this accessible."
