If you can find this, nab it. It's exactly what I hoped for in the way of humor, breathlessness, love and construction (sorry, I've been reading poetry). It's all the choice snippets of this and that which make for a great collection. I do wonder how this anthology came to be--rather suspicious that the editor included quite a few of his own poems, which I suppose is his prerogative. And I'd like to see a few more girls in here. But well done, Conundrum Press.

Favorites? Oh goodness...I would have to pick one for every poet, just about. But if I'm forced, I guess I'll say "climbing the ridge" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, "I Want to Speak With the Blood That Lies Down" by James Tipton, and "Wire Song" by Mark Todd.
