Query: "It's my cat who teaches me Zen."

The first poem by Brent Goodman that I read was titled "The Brother Swimming Beneath Me" and appeared in "Poetry" magazine. Nothing in this chapbook has quite the intensity of that masterpiece, but Goodman has a wonderful eye for odd details and odd circumstances (a newspaper's misprinting of the horoscope column, messages left on an answering machine bought at a yard sale), as well as a wry sense of humor. He is a poet well worth reading, and well worth keeping an eye on.
