Mustache in Plain Sight. Poetry by Michael Buckius. Paperback. 78 pages. March 8th, 2022. ISBN 9781948800488.

"Buckius was born a mustachioed baby. A man-child fashioning himself into a man, he steadies the lens on a "father losing his majesty"—not as some cheap spectacle, but as sustained divination. He draws close to the alchemy of his family and turns his birthright elemental, emerging from the scene of squalor with explicable hankerings, follicles, wit. Buckius demonstrates that if one looks purposefully enough, the patterns of their life might suddenly appear in plain sight."
