Riffs & Reciprocities: Prose Pairs

Stephen Dunn experiments with short, related pieces that play off each other in the manner of jazz improvisations. The resulting pairs cover such subjects as Scruples/Saints, Hypocrisy/Precision, and Anger/Generosity. The wisdom and startling turns we've come to expect from Dunn are everywhere in the ninety miniatures (forty-five pairs) that comprise this volume.
