Beauty Was the Case That They Gave Me

By Mark Leidner

Poetry. BEAUTY WAS THE CASE THAT THEY GAVE ME is Mark Leidner's first full-length collection of poems. A collection of poems that might make you feel like a flower , like a black hole , like punishment meted out at night by a giant tractor , like you have to get on fire, then slowly walk around your old neighborhood , like the town was real , like she thinks swoon is a funnier word than mulligan, and he thinks swoon is a funny word too, but no way in hell is it funnier than mulligan , like he's searching for the Holy Grail and she has little Holy Grail-shaped pupils , like an effusion of steam , like what's cool changes , like hemisphere paint , like a blue flower , like the house you have lived above forever .
