About this book: Mid-June through the end of August is open swim season in Minneapolis. For two hours four times a week, you can swim across and around Lake Nokomis on an official course with buoys and lifeguards. The poems in this chapbook dwell in the space and time of this season submerged in water. Each poem is an inkling, a flash, the glimmer of an idea, the whisper of a rumor, that mimics what happens to our sense of sight underwater and resembles how I, with the loss of most of my central vision, see all of the time.
