In this moving collection, a childhood darkened by a harshly critical family follows the poet into his adult world, persisting like ..".winter hanging on/ into spring," its "small hail" stinging every surface. Characterized by a wry wisdom, these haunted, evocative poems collapse the distance between past and present. With a stark, transcending grace, Joseph Green chronicles "Ordinary lives./ Ambitions spilling. Plans failing./ Dreams seeping out through the cracks." Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate

" Whether figurative or down to earth, Joseph Green's diction is apt. And his imagination ranges over 'the slope behind his] house, ' a garden in Marrakech, 'little sparkles in the infinite dark, ' and-it would seem-all the spots along the way. If Green does anything better than making routine seem magical, it is making the extraordinary appear commonplace. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, What Water Does at a Time Like This is a wise and beautiful book."-- Knute Skinner
