Poems across five decades of life - the 1950s to the 1990s - by esteemed Wisconsin poet Jan Chronister. "Chronister has fully inhabited these moments—paying full attention to each detail. She pulls us deftly through her world by rebuilding images that lead us deep into all seasons of life and place. Her ability to ground us in this world alongside her, to invite us into her head and surprise us, is the true gift of this collection." author of 'Louder Birds', winner of the Lena-Miles Wever Todd Poetry Prize
You never know who might walk across these pages; a young Queen Elizabeth, Frank Lloyd Wright, Sylvia Plath and Elvis all make appearances. Topics range from segregation to Woodstock to gun ownership.
