Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"The book is full of strong, memorable poems that stick with readers like a friend during a long, hard night. " - The Christian Science Monitor
Here, readers will find solace in works that are bracing and courageous, organized into such resonant headings as "Such As It Is More or Less" and "Let It Spill." From William Shakespeare and Walt Whitman to R. S. Gwynn and Mary Oliver, the voices gathered in this collection will be more than welcome to those who've been struck by bad news, who are burdened by stress, or who simply appreciate the power of good poetry.
