[Kate Fitzgerald · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fantastic collection of poems! I was not enthusiastic about reading poetry for this month's book club, so this was a pleasant surprise. The collection was published in 2002 and is only 63 pages. I particularly liked the poems that progressed through the years as she was growing up.

Great book of poems--some terrific long lines and long poems. I particularly loved the poems dealing with the atomic tests of the 50s and the speaker's childhood. Lovely!
