Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. A new book of poems by the author of The Fish Soup Bowl Expedition and the publisher of Straw Gate Books. Like a Zen master, Wat's poems are bending reeds: in seeking knowledge she's unlearning at the same time and finding form for what resonates. Witty and filled with delightful aphorisms and maxims, like the best satire, it's each poem's crazy wisdom that ultimately comes through. Use this book as a field guide for getting lost--right into the poem--Kristin Prevallet. Precise and prescient, Phyllis Wat etches the exigencies of everyday in luminous and deep-seeing language. This is a treasure of a journey of a book--Marcella Durand.
