Hemmings takes the reader on a wonderful ride in these prose poems. Surreal? Yes! But they also feel as if the things that happen in the poems are going on right next door. These poems are packed with beautiful language and images. From "City of Love #4": "Torn by fetishes and clubfooted salesman behind sliding doors, she frees her nightjars and yellow jackets." How can you not love a line like that. Hemmings is a master of this hybrid form! Buy this book.
