The collection includes “family stories where the unlikely occurs … finding-your-place-in-the-world stories … tall tales … and barely exaggerated tales filled with modern urban pathos … sweet and poignant testaments to youthful fancies, embarrassments, and unexpected compassion … and there is the sheer poetry of haikus in the context of atmospherically drawn moments.” (The above excerpted quotation is from the Introduction by Naomi Rose).
