This collection from rising author Lucy A. Snyder offers three
dozen poems to delight readers who enjoy sly wordplay and subtle
allusion, high intelligence and fierce heart. "Snyder's work is
complex yet grounded. You can read it on several levels and it'll
work on each and every one. It's lyrical but rooted in authenticity
and validity. There's truth here, and tackling the truth is the
highest calling of any poet. "She's been through the trenches; she
knows the way the world comes down. You can feel it in the work.
You're not just looking at words in a book, you're regarding a life
that's been opened up and splashed down on the page. This lady is
not only courageous, she's fearless. We need more like her to give
us that grand plucking of the guts." - Tom Piccirilli, author of
The Midnight Road and Waiting My Turn to Go Under the Knife, from
his introduction "There is nothing illusory or mechanical about
these poems. They take us on a marvelously eclectic journey, with a
cast that includes a black hole voicing its thoughts and a dead man
coming 'Home For the Holidays.' Read and be dazzled." - Christopher
Conlon, author of Mary Falls: Requiem for Mrs. Surratt and Midnight
on Mourn Street Winner of the 2009 Bram Stoker Award for Superior
Achievement in Poetry.
