    About this ebook

    Whether it be England or America, Amelia Earhart or a commoner, war or wedding, this collection of poems paints your imagination with visions of them all.

    “In Lynn Strongin’s work, bread suddenly becomes ‘the color of buffalo’. Strongin magnifies the world around us.” – Hugh Fox, late great poet and critic

    “Lynn Strongin’s poems carefully explore historical memory and a sense of recovery with a lyricism that is never sentimental, but disciplined, complex. She explores... how to live after the blade, to live as either wounded or as a ghost. I love the notion of secret history, the beatitudes and brutalisms behind all our grander... fictions.” – Jonathan Minton

    “Accept Lynn Strongin’s invitation into this magical kingdom of bees, lambs and foxes. Wish too: ‘We can only afford to push away what we utterly possess.’” – Glenna Luschei, poet and publisher
