"Aaron Kiely's poems take the right risks. They explore repetition and variation with gorgeous grace. They astonish and challenge us to live up to the meaning of our nimble believing.  This is a wonderful book."
—JOSEPH LEASE

"Like a scene out of an independent movie, Kiely’s poetry presents a study of suburban desperation and psychic violence made all the more powerful by the quietness of its terms."
—BRIAN KIM STEFANS, the BOSTON REVIEW

my sparks of hope
the ones I find my sparks of hope dawning in
the ones for the dawning
