    About this ebook

    "One of These Things Is Not Like the Others" -- A woman screams. / Another was alive just a few days ago. // Everyone else looks dazed / except Nussbaum, // who turns his collar up / & furtively appraises / the mortal brilliance of blood. // Context means a lot. / You can’t know how much // until you know that Nazis, / possibly allegorical figures, // stand as if waiting / to push off in a small boat. /
