Cooking the Stars

Cooking the Stars, by Sam Bailey, contains all new poems that are sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious, and often a combination of both. These simple and plain verses may not be as simple as they first appear. A second or third reading may take you somewhere you didn’t expect. Or then again, maybe you did. Or maybe you’re already there. Or maybe you are and you don’t really want to be. At any rate, this little book is intended for your enjoyment, so have fun!
