Okay, so I saw Scott Cairns at a poetry reading and I was both laughing, then tearing up at his poetry. Lovely stuff. This collection includes a poem entitled, "Possible Answers to Prayer," which is quite fine and poems with spiritual themes....If you ever get a chance to hear him read, go. He reads his own poetry like he's reading a sacred text, then like he's reading a letter from a good friend, then like he's reading a love letter, etc. Great to listen to him read his stuff.
