Description: "In this fourth collection, Dorianne Laux once again strikes fire from the stones of the ordinary: a quiet neighborhood street at dusk, a pool hall, a bare tree, a starling. Her lines measure the vulnerable grace of working people, the waitress, the nurse, the bus driver. And especially in this new collection, the beauty and pain of young women, mothers and daughters, sisters, lovers, caught in the "lunar pull" of our time, coming of age in America."--Jacket.
