In Suburban Myths, Sam Schmidt writes poetry that plumbs the depths of everyday life in that most artificial of environments, the American suburb. He explores not only the myth that is the suburb-an island in time and space trying to forestall nature and history while also being part of them, and the myths of romantic love and family life by which the suburbs call to something in our hearts-but also the sometimes-whimsical myths that we create to try to make the suburban world come round at those times when it suddenly seems foreign.
