Reviews

[Mark · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was OK--an exposure to three different voices--but nothing in particular grabbed me.

I read this because it includes poetry written by one of my best girlhood friends, Suzanne Qualls, with whom I have had no contact in many decades. On reading it, I was sad for her.
