Comments—

“So fun and so entertaining and grandly wise!

—Denise Duhamel
The Woman With Two Vaginas (Salmon Run Press)

"The poems in this slim, handsome chapbook do, indeed, 'transcend horizontally,' by playing with the reader's expectations and turning us toward a new perspective on simple objects or events.… The poems collectively become a celebration of the richness and unexpected gifts of life."

One Day

One day, after
I've healed,
I want to boil eggs
without an cracks,
without eruptions.

Then I'll be ready
to see my family again.

My red sedan
has been parked at the curb
for months, and
I've climed a boulder
I can't get down from.

I think the starlings
could help me, but they're
busy, busy—listening
to the voices on the wires
they cling to.

—James Bertolino and Anita K. Boyle
