Sweethearts of the Great Migration

by Andrew Hughes

"If Catullus had lived in the age of skateboards his name would be Andy Hughes. Let's call him a young, lyrical New Englander who crafts every line into a bloom of self-effacing, reflective, and always funny-sad passages. These poems are indeed passages--passages into a creative life filled with promise, and passages into a forthright sympathy for the wobbly human heart." Lisa Jarnot
