- Summary:
- A poetry collection from a New York City writer. In Fathers in the Snow, she writes: "The game is called father. / My sister lies in the grass. / I take handfuls of leaves / we raked from the lawn / spilling them over her body / until she is buried-- / her red jacket lost, completely. / Then it is my turn. / Afterwards, we pick the brittle pieces / from each other's hair."
