Fall Risk: poems

In the title poem of this poetry collection, Bill McCarthy uses the "fall risk" bracelet he received while hospitalized a decade ago to remind himself, and his readers, that we're all at risk of falling-stumbling in a relationship, overlooking a personal blind spot, or facing the consequences of a poor decision. While not shying away from life's complexities, the poems in Fall Risk, through thoughtful observations of the natural world and human society, chronicle a life in search of meaning.
