A carefully selected collection of poems by Paul Kareem Tayyar, told from the perspective of a mystical, perhaps godlike homeless veteran.Includes the following poems: UnfaithfulYour patience is a lie that you sustainAn ethos forged from the landscape of a second faceAll the days that you are certain will be yoursYour brothers carry with them when they leave The MagicianYou want so badly to tell how it's doneThat you tell it to yourself each night before sleep,Narrating a film that no one will see,The sound of the rain like the beating of wings,The applause you receive for keeping the secret.

Paul Kareem Tayyar Paul Kareem Tayyar's previous books of poems are Scenes From A Good Life (Tebot Bach) and Everyday Magic (West-Coast Bias Press). He is a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee.
