A poetry collection that hunts for meaning in the ordinary and astonishing.

Comment Card offers up a world of juxtapositions, searching for equilibrium between the sublime and the mundane: a man watching young lovers kiss while poisoned ants rain down on his porch. A Christmas tree-needle collection and Jimmy Durante. The litter of a three-hole punch and a daughter leaving for college. Tamarinds and the International Space Station. A crushed snail and the Holy Trinity. These poems wonder, how did we get here, and, by the way, where are we?

Industry Reviews

"Jim Daniels is a generous, inventive poet with great emotional range and insight. He is at home writing poems about home-the domestic space, child-rearing, marriage, aging, ambition-with honesty, intimacy, and grace. . . . Jim Daniels is humorous, provocative, and smart-an American treasure."

* Denise Duhamel *
"As prolific as he is talented, Jim Daniels gets my vote for 'the hardest working man in poetry.' His poems are honest, straightforward, full of insight, wit, and goodwill, and grounded firmly in the human and humane." * Charles Harper Webb *
"Jim Daniels keeps getting better, going deeper into his lived life to find there the language of celebration, lamentation, victory, defeat, moral ambiguity, and political and social outrage. He curses what needs to be cursed, he blesses what needs to be blessed, and he stands in silent awe and wonder at the world turning about him, a world of unaccountable suffering and unaccounted-for beauty." * Li-Young Lee *
"Daniels' poems take everything in-all our foibles and failings, our loves and refusals-and make all of it memorable, tinged with regret, but still ours, still meaningful, still worth the work and grit of poetry." * Allison Joseph *
