A Thousand Paper Cranes

With two Pushcart Prize Nominated poems included ("How to Fold an Origami Girl" and "Consuming the Wick"), this short but powerful collection leaves its mark. The poems crease and bend at the center of love and loss much like the way a piece of paper is folded over and again to become a crane, a moon, or a lamp. In the process, the reader is invited along, not just as witness, but participant, and leaves changed.
