Synopsis

Andrew Demcak's poems in Catching Tigers in Red Weather make acrobatic leaps and turns that dizzy and delight me, flashing their urban wit, their old-young wisdom, and their exhilarating range of language and feeling. Demcak's ingenious invention is a compact, elegant form, repeated throughout the book as world after surprising world, under intense pressure, flares within it. This is a book of gems. - Joan Larkin, Lamba Award Winning Author of My Body: New and Selected Poems, Cold River, A Long SoundFrom the Singing Nun to a brother's son, from glad hotels to a white palm tree or a half-smoked Marlboro, Demcak's marvelous couplets continually return us to 'the damp contact of skin, unfathomed.' - Dorianne LauxWhat a deliciously queer & charming book Andrew Demcak has created! These poems come together as conversation, as pillowbook, as memoriam, as a considered response to the noise and cogs of daily living. Demcak shows us the richness and the possibilities that come about when we engage our lives with language & poetry. - Justin Chin
