An Amiable Reception for the Acrobat, Jon Davis's sixth full-length collection of poems, is jarring and beautiful, and in both cases necessarily so. In her praise of its wisdom and irreverence, Pam Houston has described these poems as "a map to hold in our hands as we fly off the end of the world." We advise keeping a copy handy.
