Sunday Skaters by Mary Jo Salter
My first time reading a collection of this poet's work, although I am familiar with it from anthologies. Some lovely poems and stunning images, part icularly in her astute observations of others (What Do Women Want, Boulevad du Montparnasse) and atmosphere, such as the poems about Iceland.
