With stunning wit and precision and attention, we see Ray show us what it is to be human: the mess of tenderness and darkness and animosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of the heavy Florida dusk, out of peach juice and late-night swimming pool break-ins and glances across grocery store aisles come these completely captivating poems.
