The poems in Jacob Chapman's Are We There Yet with verve explore the paradoxical world we live in. Familiar landscapes made brilliantly unfamiliar. Unfamiliar people made meaningfully familiar. To be with these poems is to open oneself up to the great depths of feeling and thinking that a substantive engagement with paradox can reveal. The poems in Are We There Yet point to something vital and expansive about the strangeness we live in - "So thanks for the triangles. / I didn't know what to do with them/ at first, but now I do." These poems are patient and playful. They are perceptive and poignant. Read these poems and then read them again. -Emily Pettit, author of Goat in the Snow and Blue Flame
