Poetry. In this follow-up collection to the National Poetry Series winner A Hummock in the Malookas, Rohrer's poems play against convention, finding dark, surreal underpinnings in the seemingly innocent objects and experiences of everyday life. Direct, humorous and disquieting, SATELLITE demonstrates the unique sensibility of this important young poet. "The surface ease and playfulness of these poems belie their seriousness.
