It's unusual to call a book of poetry a 'page turner, ' but this
collection, with the knocking and jostling of words that mark the
peculiar rhythm and appeal of the prose poem, is just that. Iglesias has
an uncanny ability to capture whole sweeps of history in a few lines,
while her eye and ear for the quotidian result in the characters pulling
us from one remarkable incident to another as if they had physically
taken us by the elbow, whispering urgently.--Marie Harris
Holly Iglesias is the author of Souvenirs of a Shrunken World and
