Winner of the 2004 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry "The Improbable Swervings of Atoms" follows the comedic, often painful, physical and emotional travails of a young boy growing up in 1950s America.andnbsp; He watches the McCarthy hearings, conquers the Congo, assassinates the president, has his head stuffed into a toilet, drops his uniform on the fifty-yard line, and tries to make sense of Lucretiusandrsquo; s De Rerum Natura. The poems engage history in a very intimate way, revealing how a boy, as he matures, attempts to understand the world around him, his own physical development, the people in his life, and what it means to live in a country and time where it is impossible to disengage oneself from world eventsandmdash; where, in fact, the quest for identity is an act that requires one to rewrite history in personal terms.
