“Book Descriptions: ‘The news’ can mean many things, but first and foremost in this collection the news is–We’re having a baby! Starting in the fifth week of his wife’s pregnancy, Rob Taylor wrote a poem every week as they travelled toward their child’s birth. His poems anticipate the astonishing and yet commonplace beginning of a human life, but they also explore how a baby’s arrival streams into both the incessant chatter of the world’s daily news and into that other sort of news that literature carries–what Ezra Pound called “news that stays news”.” DRIVE
