description: Idiosyncratic, wry and unique, this small volume is both companion to and descendant of Yakich's award-winning Unrelated Individuals Forming a Group, Waiting to Cross . Each poem here shares a title with a poem in the previous book. Each poem expands on its namesake poemgives the backgroundbut a background you've never imagined! When a poet as vital and innovative as Yakich is telling the story behind the poem, the vignettes and characters that emerge from behind the scenes are as exuberant and playful as the originals. Another Tupelo book that looks at the meaning of what it is to create.
