Publisher's Synopsis
In her book of essays, We Need New Silence To Find Out What We Think, Shirley Hazzard quotes Flaubert as saying, "There is no truth. There is only perception." Poetry has been described as anything from an iceberg to the "whisperings of angels," which seems to illustrate Flaubert's point quite well. This little book of poems is a glimpse of some truths as perceived by me, at various times in life. Some question old tales and beliefs, others decry loss, and some are just plain meant to amuse.
