The Book of Answers

by Lucille Lang Day

A chapbook of poems."The poems of Lucy Day's The Book of Answers posit the responses of a gentle, intelligent universe to the questions of a kaleidoscopic--and poetic--imagination. These poems are as delicate as rain and as lasting as redwoods. Let them be your companion late at night or on a dawn walk along your favorite paths." -- David St. John
