POMES!: whimsy and wanderings in verse

by Anne Ross

Pomes—verses lighter and less formal than poems per se—invite readers into insights, laughs, and flights of fancy on a meander down the backroads of otherwise familiar terrain. An exploration of the extraordinary ordinaries of existence, different walks of life, car travel, intergenerational dynamics, and, via both established and experimental forms, the writing of poetry itself.
