Publisher Comments
"John Lehman's 'Shrine of the Tooth Fairy' won me over immediately, and I bet you'll love it too. Start with the title poem or with 'Del's Supper Club,' with the city landscapes and vivid portraits of 'Just Breakfast' or 'Clark Street Rag,' with the rich humor of '3 Big Dogs in a Convertible' -- or just plunge in anywhere. In Lehman's keen, fresh view, ordinary things can amaze. Again and again, we're startled to recognize what we always had known, but hadn't been aware of before." -- X.J. Kennedy, former poetry editor for The Paris Review, and the author of "An Introduction to Poetry."
