Permanent Smoke

Permanent Smoke, Darrell Epp's fifth collection, uses poetry as a scalpel to dissect our present moment in all its terrors and delights. Gravity and grace duel to the death in a tinkertoy universe. Downsized superheroes moonlight as Uber drivers. There's a light in the black like a knock-knock joke in the palliative care ward, and a love beyond any vocabulary.
