The Old Current

Brad Leithauser’s latest poetry collection, his first in over a decade, explores themes of nostalgia, aging, and the passage of time with humor, depth, and formal finesse. Through a diverse array of poems, the author reflects on personal memories, life's transitions, and moments of joy and reflection, all presented with a balance of wit and wisdom. The collection unfolds like a theatrical performance, seamlessly moving from lively, playful pieces to more contemplative, somber reflections, offering a warm and thought-provoking experience for readers.
