The title of this remarkable book comes from a lyric about the terror of being buried alive, but it could as easily refer to tobacco in a pipe or the way good poems are made-compacted, but not too much. Mark Todd's poetry lives at the juncture of literature and folklore, a place of language revitalized by actual speech rhythms. Todd's welcoming voice-veering like life itself between sadness and hilarity-should be welcome everywhere poetry is heard.
