- Summary:
- These poems are what happens when a poet goes on walkabout but never goes away from her family, her library, her home. "The Phone in the Kitchen", "A Perfect Sleeping Night", "Dishes", and just "Getting Dressed in the Morning" provide runways for some wild flights of language and imagery in these surreal, ironic, tender poems that call upon voices from memories, mermaids, Manhattan, the Merchant Marine, and the great tradition of poets in dreams and in the world.
