Full Description
"Solarium is a completely original gem of a book."—Henri Cole, from the foreword
Bowl of the lake. Bowl of the sky.
Bowl of the lake with the sky in it.
You looked at you in the water.
The blizzard is cold.
And the boy in the blizzard is blue.
Jordan Zandi grew up in the rural Midwest, and in 2011 graduated with an MFA in poetry from Boston University, where he was the recipient of a Robert Pinsky Global Fellowship to Bolivia. His poetry has appeared in the New Republic and Little Star.
