In Deepfake Serenade, Chris Banks's sixth poetry collection, irreverent charm, emotional distance and surprising hot takes leap off every page. He writes in the title poem, "Inside every one of us is a deepfake. A holy ghost," suggesting people have a choice to feel either like sad imposters or, if they're brave, like survivors staring down a world both utterly familiar and strange. These poems, sometimes narrative, sometimes surreal, oscillate between these two extremes as they confront middle age, new love, renewed optimism and memories, all with Banks's signature wit and inventiveness. This collection is for anyone who has ever wished to wear "a halo of knowing," or to be "the sparks flying" when outer phenomena and inner impulses collide. "Earn your rewards," Banks writes in one poem, and we do, with every turn of the page.

In Asian folklore cranes symbolize longevity, immortality, and good fortune. In Winter Cranes, his third collection, award–winning poet Chris Banks conjures these birds when he sees herons near his home towards the end of a long and difficult winter. For the poet, cranes as a dominant image represent the gaps that exist between what we see and what we feel. His poems explore the impermanence of our modern lives — how our identities are shaped by the past and the present, memory and experience, the physical and the metaphysical. Winter Cranes shows Banks to be an uncompromising poet determined to understand his experience of a world constantly changing around him.
