Even when he was eleven, his classmates seemed to have settled on a goal: doctor, lawyer, broker, engineer. Good jobs that automatically command respect, security, 401Ks. Now Batter is in his early twenties, living in New York City, and he wants something different; something that alienates some readers and bores most. Poetry. And yet--to him and exactly thirty-nine editors at a company called Peck \u0026amp; Peck--poetry not only represents the power of humanity but holds the key to its survival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Batter is named after his mother's heroic dog. An identical twin who lost his brother at birth, he finds himself confronted by the everyday dualities that make up life: right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, rejection vs. acceptance. It's almost as if his dead brother is a reminder: there are always two sides to every story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e No, wait.
