In this clever, heartfelt collection of poems, Barbara Conrad celebrates the unreal of what is real: a dead father entering a coffee shop, an old lover on bended knees, cedar waxwings in the guise of wild fruit. Whether the focus is time, colors, words, nature, social issues or personal relationships, the whole world seems to spin and startle in these lyrical, yet accessible creations.
About the Author: Barbara Conrad is the author of a chapbook, The Gravity of Color (2007) and editor of Waiting for Soup (2004), an anthology of poems and stories from her creative writing class with the homeless in Charlotte, NC. Her poems have appeared in Tar River Poetry, Southern Women's Review, Sow's Ear, and other journals and anthologies such as ...and love, Icarus and Kakalak where her work received honorable mentions.
