A brilliant new collection of poems by Kingsley Tufts Award–winning poet Thomas Lux With To the Left of Time, Thomas Lux adds more than fifty new poems to his celebrated oeuvre.

Full of his characteristic satire and humor, this new collection promises laughter and profound insight into the human condition.

Narrative Poetry: These are not just poems, but stories—about boys and cows, family secrets, and the small, strange moments that define a life. Odes to the Overlooked: A full section of the book is devoted to celebrating the unsung corners of the world, from fire hydrants and erasers to the lichen on a stone. Plain Language, Profound Insight: Discover a masterful poet who speaks in clear, immediate language, proving that the most complex truths can be found in the simplest words.
