Poetry. "Many of these sensitive, clever poems are about navigating
the new waters of a non traditional family. The result is a
cohesive, engaging collection in which a real heroine persona
explores the often challenging terrain of the omicile"--Billy
Collins. "When you open THE BOYS I BORROW, you won't find poems
about angels or mythological heroines--what you'll find is life the
way we live it, but more clearly seen and deeply understood than
the average human can easily bear. The dramas in this book are the
dramas of the life lived in the 21st century--we have trips to the
fertility doctor, motorcycle rides to the Shangri-la Motel beneath
a 'well hung, low slung' moon, stepsons whose 'tongues are simple
antennae' and who play Nintendo, need help with their homework--in
short, all of our wonderfully banal and beautiful world rendered in
painterly precision and tender humor. This is a book that
sustains"--Beth Ann Fennelly.
