This array of poems from an award-winning novelist is as varied as a short story collection. Some address nature as if it were human, or men as if they were many things besides. One poem is dedicated to the Holocaust; another tells a desert fable. Five of the 34 poems are dedicated to the paintings of Danielle Richard. To E. L.

She hopes you'll listen for a while and see the world through her looking glass.
