"Drenched in place like James Dickey, and writing with the grace of Phillip Larkin, Rob Griffith has produced a moving and original book. It's all here: Adam forgetting the names of things when he finds himself without Eve; Livia poisoning Caesar by climbing into 'his fig tree's black arms' and 'lacquering every fig with poison'; the high school reunion attendee learning that 'a dream deferred/ sometimes wears too much makeup / and drives a purple El Camino.' These poems are wise in the ways of the world. They present, with subtlety and suppleness, the situations in which we learn and relearn what it means to be human. Every reader will give A Matinee in Plato's Cave two big thumbs up." -- Beth Ann Fennelly
