Quality of Life

In Quality of Life, his third collection, Jason Tandon brings a self-deprecating humor and youthful optimism to bear on the burgeoning responsibilities of marriage, family, and fatherhood. These are poems of quietude and restraint, poems that leap from the plainspoken to the deeply imagistic. Tandon reminds us that the trials of the everyday can test even the most generous heart and patient soul, and calls us to celebrate the tiny triumphs that life so often affords.
