Joseph Veronneau is a master of moments. He captures people and mundane situations with a flair for making those situations necessary, real, and important. In this chapbook of his latest poems, Veronneau touches on the trenches of the everyday; people in their respective places with their respective tasks; the intricacies of awkward love; the modern day society; politics and what it means to be an American in this time; memories of his hometown and individual moments with young friends of childhood, and so many more situations to which any human can relate in some facet. Veronneau's poems tell the truth, coherently, to-the-point, with very few unnecessary or padded words; and they give you a glimpse into the author's life that is real, touching, objective, and emotional, all in the same breath.
