Ruins Assembling Dennis Finnell

Finnell's poems sift through the ruins of memory to uncover what it means to have lived an American life. From a post war St. Louis neighborhood to a small New England town, Ruins Assembling takes the reader on a sprawling journey to see, smell, taste, and hear the tender cadences of a world that is both familiar and terrible. Critically compassionate and deeply felt.
