"Witty, inventive, surprising, uplifting, but also drawn to probe the darker recesses of the human psyche, the poems collected here reveal Aaron Fagan at his most compelling." --Mark Ford
"Revealing the profusion of life "Where silence / And all possible / Outcomes bathe // In simultaneity," the poems in Aaron Fagan's astonishing third collection, A Better Place Is Hard to Find, carefully tune their lines, breaks and turns of phrase to the acoustics of the author's lived experience. A master of giving shape to thought, Fagan's absorbing poems about love, relationships, philosophy, and his personal history reveal the intimate function poetry can hold in the course of examining one's life.
