These are poems full of vivid particularities, poems that know 'it's easier to love / this world than it is to disappear.' Noah Blaustein is a believer in hard-earned wisdom--'suffering is measured / by the strength of one's fears'--and a poet of ferocious nostalgia."" - Campbell McGrath, author of <em>XX: Poems for the Twentieth Century</em>
The geography of After Party includes married life and fatherhood, a childhood survived if not fully understood, the transition from youth to an adulthood filled with responsibilities, and the dangers of our current world and culture-on a personal and global scale-that can distract and disrupt life and our idea of home. By turns funny and heartbreaking, flirtatious and frank, Blaustein never lets his aggravation or confusion overwhelm his sense of gratitude for the life he leads and those he loves.
