The World’s Room
The World’s Room is a dynamic first collection in which the literary and the personal, the elevated and the slangy, the sacred and the profane are beautifully intertwined. From nursery rhymes to riddles to prose poems, Joshua Weiner’s work displays boundless imaginative and linguistic possibilities.
