About this title

Synopsis:

the only place I said what I meant

was in poems
―from “The No More Apologizing, the No More Little Laughing Blues”

Lyn Lifshin is a poet who speaks with directness―immediate and accessible, seemingly artlessly, yet conveying complex truths. This collection is like an unforgettable late night, sitting on a porch in the sweet night air and listening to stories told by a very close friend.
