About this book
Joyce Carol Oates gathers poems that include a long piece spoken by Little Albert, the infant filmed in John Watson's conditioning experiment. In his voice, the poem recalls a white rat, a hammer struck against a pipe behind his head, and a fear that outlasted the laboratory.
Other poems in the opening pages turn to light, the earth and the way a life slips away.
