&quot;&lt;strong&gt;As seen in the &lt;em&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt; Book Review&lt;/strong&gt; <br/> &lt;p&gt; <br/> &quot;"In characteristically short lines and pithy, slippery language like predictive text from a lucid dream, Zapruder’s fifth collection grapples with fatherhood as well as larger questions of influence and inheritance and obligation."" —&lt;em&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt; <br/> &lt;/p&gt; <br/> &lt;p&gt; <br/> “[Zapruder] presents powerfully nuanced and vivid verse about the limitations of poetry to enact meaningful change in a world spiraling into callousness; yet despite poetry’s supposed constraints, Zapruder’s verse offers solace and an invaluable blueprint for empathy.” ―&lt;i&gt;Publishers Weekly&lt;/i&gt;, starred review <br/> &lt;/p&gt; <br/> &lt;p&gt; <br/> “Zapruder’s new book, &lt;i&gt;Father’s Day&lt;/i&gt;, is firmly situated in its (and our) political moment, and is anchored by a compelling gravity and urgency.” ―&lt;i&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/i&gt; <br/> &lt;/p&gt; <br/> &lt;p&gt; <br/> The poems in Matthew Zapruder’s fifth collection ask, how can one be a good father, partner, and citizen in the early twenty-first century? Zapruder deftly improvises upon language and lyricism as he passionately engages with these questions during turbulent, uncertain times. Whether interrogating the personalities of the Supreme Court, watching a child grow off into a distance, or tweaking poetry critics and hipsters alike, Zapruder maintains a deeply generous sense of humor alongside a rich vein of love and moral urgency. The poems in &lt;i&gt;Father’s Day&lt;/i&gt; harbor a radical belief in the power of wonder and awe to sustain the human project while guiding it forward.&lt;/p&gt;"
