Meischen's poems investigate the ways sexual desire changes as we age, the grief of losing those close to us, and the oddness that comes with being young in spirit while trapped in a body no longer young. Rooted firmly in the Southwestern desert, these poems also travel to Russia and Germany, carrying a note of urgency in their exploration of a life well lived. \u003ci\u003eUnbuckled \u003c\/i\u003eis a collection full of vibrancy, hope, and gratitude.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Meischen \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the short story collection \u003ci\u003eNopalito, Texas \u003c\/i\u003e(UNM Press) and the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eCaliche Road Poems \u003c\/i\u003eand the award-winning \u003ci\u003eAnyone's Son\u003c\/i\u003e.
