It's a far cry from the baggy khakis and extra large shirt Zerance's father would have him wear, clothes sure to make him feel like a real man. No dice. Instead, Zerance has demons under his bed and phobias--mosquitos, bees, roaches, spiders, ticks--a veritable house of horrors, his pain and longing all the more powerful for their formal restraint. These are elegant poems, knife thin, taut and edgy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBARBRA GOLDBERG \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe post-apocalypse is happening now and in Baltimore in the steamy, exciting poems of Stephen Zerance's \u003cem\u003eSafe Danger\u003c\/em\u003e, in which the mythic is mashed against the everyday to produce a strange and intoxicating juice fermented with pieces of his own body and accented with notes of lyric intensity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDAVID BERGMAN \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Zerance's \u003cem\u003eSafe Danger \u003c\/em\u003eis an anxious book, a book about desire and dread, worry and wonder, about how it's possible to fear what feeds us.
