Customer Reviews

Vibrant, lively and insightful.

This is a vibrant, lively collection of poems crammed with insights into who we are and the way we live. Filled with surprising twists and laugh-out-loud phrases, these poems are especially memorable for the sympathy and wisdom with which Southwick observes the beauties and sadnesses of our world, and the mysteries at its core to which, even without understanding them, we always respond. I predict that this slim book will never end up on the shelf; readers will want to keep reaching for it to reread and mull over in light of whatever it is they are doing or have done that day.
