The #1 bestselling author of the global sensation “Lessons in Chemistry" shares a delightful and tender story about a young man whose life turns upside down. Batter Gray is worried about his future. Even when he was a child, his classmates seemed to have settled on a goal: doctor, lawyer, broker, engineer. Now Batter is in his early twenties and he wants something different; something that alienates some readers and bores most. Poetry. When Batter is hired by the most prestigious, secretive, and dysfunctional poetry journal in the world: the renowned Peck & Peck of New York City, he learns that poetry not only represents the power of humanity, but may hold the key to its survival.
