The Falling Down Dance

By Chris Martin

A couple learns first how to be together, then how to anticipate a child, then how to raise him.

The poems in this book open a field of exploration around failure, love, despair, time, and fatherhood. It is a guide to surviving winter and learning to walk. It is a story about old houses filled with new song. Behold the first raspberry and the last clasping wet of the world as it parts to reveal mercy, a person.
