Fall Higher

Fall Higher is a major new collection by one of America’s most inventive and entertaining writers. Dean Young’s work contends with the turbulence of love—wryly cataloging mistakes, the deterioration of relationships, and broken vows. “But don’t despair,” he counsels readers. “There are designs that seem like chaos / only because you’re too close.” Young’s humor is as sharp as ever, coupled with a heart-earned vulnerability that renders Fall Higher his most intimate collection. Young urges us to “fall higher” until “there’s nothing left but hope.”
