The first collection

Mylar

BlazeVOX [books] · 2012

Wertheimer’s debut collection, written in the too-hot light of the Arizona desert — a life of cars and malls, wise daughters, strained loves, and language that has to be nudged to be just right. Franklin holds his kite here; Geronimo hides in a cave; mylar balloons teach new relations to gravity.
