This collection of poems meditates on people in trouble searching for a way out, people whose faith has been tested and found wanting. These poems address the wariness of women and men together, the distance between them as they attempt the bridge their destructive failures.

About this title

Review:

"The eyes and voice here could easily be those of a fine fiction writer. Lisa Lewis has a secure touch with narrative, and a prodigal ease with details both gritty and lovely. The result is a collection of extraordinarily powerful poems."
--Henry Taylor, Brittingham Prize Citation
