Cloud the Shape of Bedroom is an exhilarating exploration of humanity’s relationship to the natural and manufactured world and the challenges that come with placing oneself within such an enormous scope. The poems attempt to capture the fluidity and interconnectedness of existence through ambitious and energetic language, channeling the spirits of both Walt Whitman and Carl Sagan. While others turn away, Opperthauser approaches the eye of the storm with a grin and half-broken heart, hoping to merge his own magnetism with that of the universe.
