The Daily Glance
Reading through this selected collection, I'd like to go back through his works and see what he left out. The works included in this one tie together almost as if part of a long poem.

Central to this collection is a love of language, for Chace pushes what language can do by shifting contexts and playing with form. Not much seems off limits for him, and while these poems deal with a wide variety of topics, it feels like the same hand is behind them all.

pose just kept cleaning found
the new waves that
ocean those sheets of
sound
