Tremulous Hinge

I can't let go of Adam Giannelli's luminous poetry debut. Tremulous Hinge doesn't rest on the bed stand and it never touches the floor (where books land when I'm fed up with them). This copy lives in my bag, and whenever I need a deep breath of fresh air I just pull it out and open to any poem. Try it. You'll love it. Here's the link to the U of Iowa Press.
