In this comprehensive collection of Ellie Schoenfeld's poems, "...one finds a tenderness mixed with bewilderment, a feeling of awe at the great mystery of life, and a longing," according to Louis Jenkins. Schoenfeld's work is accessible, amusing, and gently elegiac in tone. She has been called "a voice of warm dry humor." This collection includes the complete spectrum of Ellie's poetry, both retrospective and new.
