Description
"'These begonias have come a long way,' writes Susan Rich in a marvelous poem called 'Everyone in Bosnia Loves Begonias,' and so has she! I admired her talent years ago, and this book makes it clear that she has grown into a mature and accomplished poet."--Linda Pastan A dynamic new collection by the winner of the PEN West Poetry Award. Rich's poetry tracks the globe, drawing us into the lives of ordinary people on nearly every continent.Tags

A lyrical and textural collection of poetry, full of place and person and vibrant with life. I wish I didn't have to give this back to the library. For I want to return to these poems again and again, and be surprised and moved by them over and over.
