About this item
by Kevin A. Risner (Author)
Anchored by the first years of the Covid-19 pandemic, Kevin A. Risner's debut full-length poetry collection It's Easy to Lose Your Breath is both introspective and outward-facing, rippling from the poet's inner life into family and friendships, work and unemployment, suburban life, and wildlife. The collection draws on daydreams and nightmares, small animals' housecalls, and memories of childhood. Concerns about health and emotional well-being intermingle with the worries about what climate change will bring in a world hellbent on maintaining the capitalist status quo. Though not without that unbeatable Rust Belt hope, this is a collection that sits with the heavy weight of what the powers that be have done to the natural world and what it might take for ordinary people to survive in the years and decades to come.
