"Sometimes, the deepest things are enclosed in smallest packages; Lobster Rolls, a leg cast, a quotation from a beloved, but departed poet; the trick of poetry and the challenge to the poet is to turn the ordinary and make it blaze new in our mind, and this is a task Estha Weiner is more than up to in her fine book at the last minute. We read what she gathers for us here, and go, 'yeah-that's it. That's the way we are.'"--Cornelius EadyProduct Details
