Publisher's Synopsis
A proud finch, a matchmaker, a war hero, even bison and jellyfish face their challenges in these lively poems, filled with wry humor and charms, setbacks and fresh beginnings. They form a story of grand hopes and heartrending sorrows from youth to old age. Most of these poems were previously published, in The Threepenny Review, Evansville Review, Nimrod, Measure, Atlanta Review, Main Street Rag, and many other journals.
