“Full of brand new nanotechnology, old moonlight, paternal feelings, fear, genuine domestic love, freedom and the yearning for more of it, all communicated with accuracy and strange clarity. Rick Marlatt writes exactly the kind of American poetry -- plain spoken, electric, imaginative, sincere -- that I want to carry with me, in a book just like this one.”
-Matthew Zapruder, Wave Books
"These poems launch themselves like rockets or prayers into an ethereal world, un-physical, pneumatic as breath. An act of sacrament. Rick Marlatt knows the power of the tension of opposites. And he doesn't so much exploit it as he does harness it. The poems go where they will because of this energy. They go both far and near."
-Jill Alexander Essbaum, Author of Harlot
Selected from over 40 manuscripts as the winner of SCP’s first ever chapbook contest, How We Fall Apart is a verbal feast of explosive metaphors and startling imagery. Full of questions, memories, winter landscapes and a sly nudging towards transcendence Marlatt’s debut collection is as silly, deep, beautiful and enlightening as a hard bop on the head from an old Zen master’s staff.
An accessible and highly-enjoyable gift for any literary-minded friends.
