At Age Twenty

Maxwell Baumbach is hope for tomorrow in a dark world. His first full-length collection assembles poetry that maps out his worldview from this specific moment in time, poised on the edge of adolescence and adulthood. He lets us see what he sees, and what he sees is by turns funny, poignant, absurd, and maddening, but his perspective is always clear, his voice rings out true from every page. In this book we don’t get to see the process of a boy becoming a man, we get taken along for the ride. It is a collection for all ages.
