Fall Higher

Fall Higher is a major collection by one of America's most inventive and entertaining writers. In this paperback release, Dean Young's work contends with the challenges of love, wryly cataloging mistakes, deterioration, and broken vows. Young's humor is as sharp as ever, and coupled with a vulnerability that renders Fall Higher his most intimate collection to date. "The True Apology Takes Years" The true apology takes years. Terrible dry eyes! The tree rings grow closer and closer together but the nail is swallowed. Great heaps of rubble are moved up and down the shore. Finally a dance is performed to complete the forgiveness, stamping out small fires, the whole palladium decorated with thistles like the last twenty pages of a Victorian novel. Now that your hunger is gone you're welcome to the banquet . . .
