In this new poetry collection, Pulitzer Prize finalist Ron Padgett illuminates the wonders inside things that dont even existand then they do.

In Dot, Ron Padgett returns with more of the playfully profound work that has endeared him to generations of readers. Guided by curiosity and built on wit, generosity of spirit, and lucid observation, Dot shows how any experience, no matter how mundane, can lead to a poem that flares like gentle fireworks in the night sky of the readers mind.
