Sparks from a Nine-Pound Hammer: PoemsSometimes a fact swings down like a hammer and we are changed. The fact of loss, the fact of desire, and all the wild, unruly facts of history hammer down and sparks fly up. This, then, is a collection of facts. In a rushing, rolling style, poems sweep to the edge of falling apart, take great delight in defying that dissolution, and come upon a thing redemptive and clarifying: the fact of love.

Sometimes a fact swings down like a hammer and we are changed. The fact of loss, the fact of desire, and all the wild, unruly facts of history hammer down and sparks fly up. This, then, is a collection of facts. In a rushing, rolling style, poems sweep to the edge of falling apart, take great delight in defying that dissolution, and come upon a thing redemptive and clarifying: the fact of love. In a world that "doesn't really care / whether we live or die," Steve Scafidi writes, "tell it you do and why." From the unthinkable to the quietly heroic, somehow we have emerged. Sparks from a Nine-Pound Hammer celebrates that fact most of all.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice casual shirt
Size: XX-Large, Color: Sky Blue
Great shirt. The size is right. The color is as expected. Comfortable. Didn't iron it yet, so can't tell how easy it is.

As advertised
Size: Large, Color: Peach
Nice peach pink color. Good for casual as well and suit and tie wear. Machine washed and dried without shrinkage or fading. The material is stiff and requires touch up iron or steam press. Husband likes and says it is comfortable. Would buy again

Oversized sleeves, but still a good cotton shirt.
Size: Small, Color: Black
The shirt runs big at the sleeves and I'm a more slender person. I usually fit fine into a small sized dress shirt but the sleeves here remind me of airbags. The chest, shoulder and waist area fit fine. Overall, I would appreciate slim fit options or just slimmer sleeves. Everything else is great. Affordable. Its cotton and feels nice. It was packaged in an air tight seal, well done. They pre wash it and it smelled nice out the package. They have buttoned collars and I like those and they aren't the easiest to find with the colors I want.
I wouldn't by again because of the sleeves but if they have a slim fit option in the future. Id take the chance and buy it again.
