Quality of Life

Poetry. Jason Tandon's poems cast the mundane as miraculous and remind us that the trials of everyday can test even the most generous heart and patient soul.

"The poems in Jason Tandon's QUALITY OF LIFE meditate on loss, love, the complexities of memory, the way, perhaps, snowdrifts seen from the road recall a sheet covering the body of an old friend lost at sea. Or they speak of our need to hold onto moments of clarity, epiphany, or self-knowledge even as they slip past us. These poems, so many of which exist in the sphere of the familiar the memory of a piano teacher, a dog bounding through the grass are acutely observed, thoughtful, occasionally whimsical, and composed with elegance, fine music, and grace. QUALITY OF LIFE is a delight." Kevin Prufer
