David Gardiner's latest collection continues Downstate's reflections upon history and its affect on home spaces through a series of lyrics and sequences. At the center of The Chivalry of Crime is the accidental discovery of the history surrounding an heirloom and pocket watch that connects this era to the present moment. Meditating on lost and won causes, Gardiner reflects upon his homes in Ireland and the US, exile from those same places, and the spaces between them where meanings are shaped. Dr. David Gardiner has written five previous books. He is currently associate poetry editor for Burning Bush 2 (Dublin). He lives in Chicago.
