To fall is to be human. We fall in love, fall asleep, and fall from grace. And
in this epoch that we have called the Anthropocene, we are witnessing nothing
less than the fall of nature. This extraordinary collection, the fifth by the
prize-winning poet David McCooey, covers the full tragicomic spectrum of
falling: from pratfalls to tragic demises, from accident-prone parents to
ruinous celebrities.
Within its unifying thematic focus, The Book of Falling is tonally and formally
diverse, attending with great artistry to the calamities and absurdities of
history and the contemporary world. The collection comprises of satires and
elegies, inventive poetic autofictions and biofictions, and innovative
photopoems, employing found photos and photographs by the author. This is a
collection that welcomes its readers, even as it plunges them into new ways of
understanding the beautiful, fallen worlds that we inhabit.
