The author is indeed right. Poetry belongs in everyday life, and doe snot have to putt people off. Sometimes we poets do precisely that, and Lee's book offers us a whimsical corrective worthy of a Thurber or Nash.

Poems for a variety of situations are offered, ranging from office life, romance, dealing with telemarketers, and graduaton speeches. I especially enjoyed An Eviction Sonnet", but since I will never be a landlord, will have no opportunity to use it; if I did, I would of course credit the author.

Lee amply displays her capability for whimsy in this book I, for one, look forward to seeing what she can accomplish in another style!
