Publisher Marketing: In The Air in the Air Behind It, Brandon Rushton's poems are wild ranging examinations of the untenable present and the unknowable future. They brim with ideas in a sonic rush-so full of vitality and the resilience required to rally the spirit inside a personal reckoning against the backdrop of collective resignation. "I came dangerously close to some / partition, some fog I can't stop / my want to fit inside. In a rush // of mountainous air, I mistake me / for myself again." These exhilarating poems embrace possibilities worth hoping for, even in a world that's over-stimulated and disappointing; gracefully, they make room for the light to get in and fill the empty spaces. -Allison Titus
