Highly accessible, these are poems about love and work. They are bawdy and sublime, loving and carnal. Each poem suggests its own story, yet, taken together, they off entrance to the world in all its depth and mystery. Larry Laurence has won awards from Artists Trust and the Seattle Arts Commision and has received residencies from Squaw Valley (California) Community of Writers and Cummington (Massachusetts) Center of the Arts.
