Pyrrhonic by Stephanie Erdman

“Pyrrhonic,” the term, comes from skeptical philosophy, and as a unifying title for this collection, it sets a welcome and helpful frame. The poems in Stephanie Erdman’s Pyrrhonic range from bourbon and barbeque grills to the expectations and failures of modernity with a clear imagistic focus on the tangible, setting up oppositions that, rather than argue, deepen both.
