“A reader of poetry all her life, Elizabeth Michael Boyle turned to writing it only in her later years. This collection, assembled after her seventieth birthday, richly combines wry wit and passion. To cite but one example: “Up in the fitness center / facing the cemetery / I set the stats to the minimum / muster my will to the maximum / and start pumping toward life eternal.” – Maxine Kumin, Pulitzer Prize, Robert Frost Medal, Poetry Prize Poetry Society of America, Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress
