"Frost, a jazz drummer and English professor, sets his first collection in 20 years in the world of visceral experience rather than abstract matter. . . . Frost's strengths lie in the hinges of his poems where the reader can feel the deep connections that motivate his work. . . . Frost's pithy, epigrammatic style finds strength in silences as well as words."-Publishers Weekly "In Richard Frost's long awaited third book, he recreates a world as if revived from memory . . . where humor and violence intersect in the daily intimacies of living, sometimes leading to the horrific, often leading to the miraculous."-Salt Hill Journal "I am very fond of Mr. Frost's poems," writes Donald Justice of [Frost's] latest collection, "and especially of those that have a story to tell, which they manage to do with enviable clarity and a total lack of pretension.

When 55-year-old physician Dan Jameson suffers recurrence of the malignant lymphoma for which he has already endured radiation and chemotherapy, he decides not to go through the grueling treatment process again.

Plans change when outside a Wisconsin diner, a young woman in her twenties asks for a ride. Janice Browning later insists on accompanying him on his journey. As they travel the country in Dan’s Toyota, they banter, sightsee, argue, share dreams, and talk about death. Over time Janice learns to appreciate Dan’s devotion to his team but refuses to let him become disengaged from life and its possibilities.
