The pleasures provided by Scott Dalgarno's Third-Class Relics are abundant. In evidence are a discerning mind, a musical ear, a witty intellect, and a bruised but open heart.
With precise diction, compelling narratives, and smooth, inviting language, Dalgarno examines a wide array of subjects. Here is a poet at ease with unease. In one poem, he
defines limbo as a place where "Kettle never boils; dog circles / and circles but never lies down." In another, he addresses an "unrealized" zygote this way: "Your not being here / is
everywhere." For me, a good poem both entertains and disturbs, the latter by shaking us from complacency. Scott Dalgarno's book is filled with such poems. Third-Class Relics is a
first-class triumph.
-Andrea Hollander, author of And Now, Nowhere But Here
"There go the swallows / taking it out on the morning," writes Dalgarno, whose collection is a stirring portrayal of a life pulled in to focus. The poems in Third-Class Relics ask us to
reckon with the lyric tension of our lives in the metaphoric borderland of so many kinds of rapture. It arrives with a fresh and clear voice that invites its reader to remember they
are always already a viewer, a visitor, and a voyeur, too.
-Meg Day, author of Last Psalm at Sea Level
