Weary? Lost? Drowning in the
diverted current of what you thought was going to be your life? "You
can make other pathways," Kendig tells us. These 23 strong and
steady poems show us how. --Ann Harleman, author
of Thoreau's Laundry and The Year She Disappeared
Armed with a vast store of classical
learning, Diane Kendig explores the inside of the state penitentiary, the
flatlands of Ohio and the “tour frigate's toot.” This is a real poet at
work: concrete, allusive, and tethered to the world by the breadth
of her experience.---Jay Atkinson, author of City
in Amber and Legends of Winter Hill
Diane
Kendig takes us on a tour of the places she’s been – some geographic, many
not. Surprisingly, even though we may think we have not visited these
same places, through these poems we find that, in truth, we have been there,
too. A superb ride with an exceptional writer.---Don Cellini, author of Approximations/Aproximaciones and Inkblots
