In his new collection, Jeffrey McDaniel confronts the insular and expansive qualities of loss. With electric language and surrealistic imagery, McDaniel’s poems deliver the quotidian elements of middle-age life while weaving us in & out of childhood and adulthood alongside body and mind. The tragic and life affirming share the same page and the same world, reminding us how close corruption can be to innocence; domesticity to fantasy; aging to youth.
Past Praise for Chapel of Inadvertent Joy
“McDaniel shocks with lines that are at once painful and visually convincing, that balance grief with imagination.”—Green Mountains Review
Past Praise for Chapel of Inadvertent Joy<
“I just loved this book so much! Heartbreak and humor find their balance in this worldly take on love and cheating. McDaniel is so smooth and lovable in his voice and adept in his lines. He makes it all seem so easy. Buy this for five smart people who like poetry; they will all send you notes of pleasure.”—D.A. Powell
