We Have Gone to the Beach Cynthia Huntington

We Have Gone to the Beach is a collection of lyric and narrative poems, many of them set in Southern California, in which the disquieting aspects of contemporary suburban culture are explored, often in a darkly humerous light. At the heart of the book is a cycle of poems about specific individuals whose lives enact the states of social and spiritual crisis shared by the author.
