Summary
Big, ambitious and compulsively readable, the new book about life and the sacred in times of crisis from the cult US poet.
Deadpan, epic, and searingly charismatic, A Sand Book is at once relatable and out-of-this-world. In poems tracking climate change, bystanderism, state murder, sexual trauma, shopping, ghosting, love, and the transcendent shock of prophecy, A Sand Book chronicles new dimensions of consciousness for our strange and desperate times.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
A Sand Book’s achievement, in its lyricism and its philosophy, cannot be understated. With this book of books, Reines transmits and distils the miasma of our reality–in all of its impossible completeness–in order to leave us with something that feels like truth.
