Editorial Reviews

Review

"The poems in this anthology capture the joys and struggles of families, while clarifying what it is like to be human, or more importantly, while defining what it is like to be alive. The poems center on all family matters or on all that matters within the family, from the most ordinary issues of parenting and birth, to the subtle changes of aging and death." -Katharine Studer, Ohioana Quarterly, Summer 2006
