Poetry. "Marvelously inventive and refreshingly tongue-in-cheek, Robyn Ewing takes a frank look at the world in these sharp, funny pieces, but with a mind so acrobatic that she makes it look brand new and not quite so impossible. Even when tackling life's more awkward details, such as poverty and war, there's a wry brilliance to her eye and ear. Ewing covers it all,from ornithology to physics to funerals, but it's the sheer dazzle, zip, and bite of each line that makes this one of the best books you'll read this year"--Cole Swensen.
