Publisher Comments:

In her highly anticipated new collection, Deborah Keenan sifts through inanimate objects and forgotten memories in search of personal validation. Her journal-like confessions create an instant bond with the reader, yet these seemingly simple poems daringly redefine common language. Keenan skillfully twists words to suit her ends, creating a colorful, dream-like world filled with lions, paintings, wars, and mummies. Throughout, she constantly reorganizes this world in an effort to realize her place in it.

This books is a collection, so you get to see the writer grow from the beginning of her writing career up to now. Her imagery is smart, fresh and gorgeous. Her endings turn to illuminate the rest of the poem, creating impact, as endings should.
