Do you live in a small town filled with cute rosy children, happy smiling townsfolk, and white picket fences? If so, the author, Sam Kuban, warns you this book may not be for you. If, however, you are open to the macabre and unsettled, please come right in.The author begins this book with an introduction so that the uninitiated won't be too alarmed. I am curious myself how and why the author came to write this book. It is filled with thirteen beautifully written, ardently descriptive, poems that give us insight into this special place. The woman who crocheted and stitched baby clothes for children she would never have, the doctor who hated his patients, the woman who sold all her guns that she used to rob banks , and the myriad of others who have nothing positive in their lives. It may be that small doses of these poems are your wont, but read one after another will give you a much better view of this 'small blissful town'.This book is an eye opener, a snort from the nose and the mouth as you encounter each personality. Take them all with a grain of salt, and then go back to your happy, peaceful lives. I have not read anything like this book and I am an avid reader, however, this is a book I enjoyed immensely. Note: This book was given to me to read and review.Recommended. prisrob 05-21-14
