Shorts: 101 Brief Poems of Wonder and Surprise

by John Lehman

Consisting entirely of justified poems poems that cacpitalize on the dynamics between the spoken sentence and the intentionally chosen break line this collection of short works ranges in subject matter from "Biking Past a Farmer's Field" to "Secrets of a Werewolf's Wife." Fundamentally Midwestern in voice, each of these poems catches some element of the compassion, wit, and hard-earned wisdom that characterizes America's heartland.
