Hardback. Condition: New. NEW, Never circulated, Never read. 30 pages ; 21cm. . . . . . FROM THE FORWARD: Mike Aquilina and I have never met in person, but when I had a poetry journal I published him like crazy, couldn't get enough of his surprising-but-just-right language, his smart ear for cadence, and the Aquilina mix of passion, playfulness, and discipline in each small peach of a poem. And those poems were poems. They'd been worked. Mike and I recently caught up with each other through the holy mystery of social networking, and now we talk about life and faith and work and marriage. We're both fans of marriage.) When Mike mentions his wife, Terri, I swear my screen flares. He once told me that Terri is his *hero in every way* And he's been plotting for ages to surprise her with this 25th wedding anniversary volume. Can you imagine what Terri-the Muse, the primum movens--will feel, receiving this gift from this man? For my part: on nearly every page of this collection, there's some constellation of words or metrics, some crystallization of thought, making me wish I'd written it. Under rigorous application of my finely honed private evaluation system for poetry, that's what makes my joy-meter blow a fuse. -- Jane Greer.
