Barbara Griest-Devora $7.00
ISBN: 1-931247-10-2 "Barbara Greist-Devora's first collection of poems opens us wide and raw to this 'world of light / and heavy longing.' From the poignant lyricism of "Monogamy" and "In a Room Where You Are Staying for Only a Week" to the wry humor of 'Getting It" and the dark comedy of "Climbing Man," these captivating, haunting poems offer wisdom far beyond the hilarity of Greist-Devora's cast of superheroes, who are, of course, ourselves." Wendy Barker, author of Way of Whiteness
