I loved Glass' first novel, Three Junes, and she has not disappointed me on this novel, her 4th book. Filled with family drama and rapid fire repartee, she takes us into the life of 70-year old Percy Darling, a Dickensesque widower and curmudgeon, who lives in a vintage Boston house with a dance studio, which he leases to a passel full of daycare children. What was he thinking? The conversations are contemporary and delightful as Glass weaves a tale full of twists and surprises, just like real life. As soon as this novel hit the book shelves, it became a bestseller; book groups will enjoy this one.

We are a poetry-loving community, right? If there is a "Western Voice" in our contemporary poetry, you will discover it as you read this anthology, 478 pages of diverse poems represented by 11 states on this side of the continental divide. The poets are living and actively writing, they come from all walks of life, all ages, nationalities and professions. It is a snapshot of our present and collective poetic experience. Our own Bellingham poet Jim Bertolino is included. You will be mesmerized by this book of many voices; I am. Slow down; sit, read, and reflect.

Poetry is playful, it is fun, it is therapy, it is something everyone can learn to write, and this book is a great workbook for the linguistically curious. I refer to it often.
