Sean O''Brien''s exquisite collection is powerfully affecting, sad and often deeply funny; but it is also a dramatically compelling book - disquieting, even - and full of warnings. As the book unfolds, O''Brien''s verse occupies an increasingly dark, subterranean territory - where the waters are rising, threatening to overwhelm and ruin the world above. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner of both the T.
