Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Unabashed Earnestness in the Greenest of HopeThe poems in this collection are a practice in ordinary love, both longing for and celebrating connection. Here, we may partake in reading as if a friend speaks to us directly. This friend that-despite mistakes and overreaching-invests herself with unabashed earnestness in the greenest of hope, imagination, freedom, beginner's mind, surrender, and renewal."With sass and swagger, with spunky outspokenness, with humble wonder, Laura Sciortino offers us her debut book of poems. In this collection where paying attention is a kind of love, Sciortino's work finds its own easy place / a moggy right place / clear as water / old as sunlight."-Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita"...small invitations, such as "Swell," whose lyrical sentences entangle gestures domestic and marine, and the dense canopy of "Green," whose lush prose block sways with need and rebirth."-Ed Skoog, author of Travelers Leaving for the City"With wit and insight, she explores the vivid and mundane moments that make up a life... And what a gift this book is to all who read it."-Rebecca Jamieson, author of The Body of All Things"These poems are a delightful introduction to Sciortino's perceptive modern vision, through the lens of a wondering and generous talent."-Merridawn Duckler, author of Idiom, Interstate, Misspent Youth and It's a Wonder
