SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
An inviting collection of poems to illuminate the mysteries of daily life and explore the reality of suburban and small-town life. Displaying a lyrical gift that is alert to ironic possibilities, Laylands voice encourages a surrender to everyday experience. In these poems the moments of suffering and delight that occur between birth and death are rendered with fresh and compelling insight.
