Book Synopsis
Now, from the sweet fragrance of roses, bitterness stings our nostrils. The bay's withdrawn from us, the beach is littered with broken things - splintered oars, bits of old clay pipe from a long ago shipwreck, fragments of china plates. Enchanting, those days my townspeople scavenged rare cargo, furnishing their long winters with random wares.

Trade Review
"In their subjectivity, the poems appeal to each reader's personality, as well as to his or her aesthetic expectations. Mazur's careful use of natural speech turns personal remembrances into crafted parables.... Extraordinary language is required in order to honor, accurately and lovingly, the ordinary - a notion already embodied in much of Gail Mazur's poetry." (Alexandra Yurkovsky, San Francisco Chronicle)"
