Opis

“Is there no value to inaccuracy?”
Joe Manning’s On Inaccuracy investigates the nuanced, sometimes tenuous relationship between seeing and looking as it highlights humanity’s tendency to fail at both. “There are seekers and seers and watchers and viewers. I’m just a looker,” Manning intones as he turns an existential eye inward on his own fl aws and relationships, and outward at the beautiful inaccuracies of the world as he observes it. In Manning’s gaze, quotidian experience reveals truths both small and large, and seemingly disparate considerations blossom into fruitful correlation when viewed
through his lens: family reunions, failed optical exams, a national symbol falling to earth, these and other situations are scrutinized
with a generous curiosity, and sometimes dry wit. Past, present, and future combine to reveal one united world under Manning’s
heartfelt and sincere eye. On Inaccuracy is chapbook not to be overlooked.
