John Hammond's poems explore the in-between spaces of our lives-what we see but don't see, how we're shaped by the world's profligate, mysterious beauty, and unexpected humor. Taken from actual headlines...Roy has Heart Trouble, Trigger is Stuffed. Or from the instructions for an indoor/outdoor thermometer...A team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day. Inspired by the grocery store...Some drive their carts like chariots into battle. And by chickens at the night post office-inspiration for the title poem. Reflections on what we don't know about the people we love, the Sphinx on the East River, Hitchcock's magic, the exotic world of childhood, a vaudeville act in a New Orleans corner grocery. The moon. And, of course, Frank the Cat. The Night Post Office is a collection of over seventy poems about the small and enormous everyday mysteries that surround us.
