Sinossi

Full of Clewell&;s distinctive blend of narrative and lyric, as well as his unabashed, idiosyncratic sense of wonder, these poems often spring from unlikely sources: Adam and Eve&;s Paradisal do-over at the Jersey shore, the misguided promise of tinfoil hats, Uncle Bud on the Moon, Debbie Fuller on Pluto, debatable Bigfoot nomenclature, Richard Nixon&;s social-media rejuvenation, and a Nebraska policeman&;s run-in with space aliens who tell him, &;We want you to believe in us&;but not too much.&;
           In Almost Nothing To Be Scared Of, David Clewell&;s most expansive work yet, readers will discover a multiplicity of new ways to take heart&;surely no small thing in a world where we&;re too often asked to take what we&;d rather not.
