Chance of Lightning: Volume 32

＂Chance of Lightning is a precarious love letter that wagers mystery against easy answers and unflinching vulnerability against inevitable misfortune. Sonnets, prose poems, and experiments in lyrical verse create a world of imaginary lottery winners-from a man who invests his windfall in a dove-release business to a woman who tracks down every person she’s ever kissed-and explore themes of birth, death, loss, and survival＂--
