Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Full of Clewell's distinctive blend of narrative and lyric, as well as his unabashed, idiosyncratic sense of wonder, these poems often spring from unlikely sources: Adam and Eve's Paradisal do-over at the Jersey shore, the misguided promise of tinfoil hats, Uncle Bud on the Moon, Debbie Fuller on Pluto, debatable Bigfoot nomenclature, Richard Nixon's social-media rejuvenation, and a Nebraska policeman's run-in with space aliens who tell him, "We want you to believe in us--but not too much."
In Almost Nothing To Be Scared Of , David Clewell's most expansive work yet, readers will discover a multiplicity of new ways to take heart--surely no small thing in a world where we're too often asked to take what we'd rather not.
