The first broad retrospective of August Kleinzahler's career, Sleeping It Off in Rapid City gathers poems from his major works along with a rich portion of new poems that visit different voice registers, experiment with form and length, and confirm Kleinzahler as among the most inventive and brilliant poets of our time. Travel—actual and imaginary—remains a passion and inspiration, and in these pages the poet also finds "This sanctified ground / Here, yes, here / The dead solid center of the universe / At the heart of the heart of America."

Sleeping It Off in Rapid City
Some of these poems were tough, muscular, edgy pieces of prose that define images and ideas concretely. For me, those were the more enjoyable poems. They had a sense of realism and compactness and stayed with you.
The other poems were a little more sprawling and rambling. Ideas were bound up in language that floated somewhere beyond the reader. After reading some of these poems I was left with a thought of so what? What can I take away from this?
Part of this might stem from the fact that this is a collection which gathers from many other collections. Styles change and shift and in the process it can be a little hard to move with the writer.
All in all, it was a good collection and perhaps if I spent more time with it, I'd feel different.
