Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
If objects could talk, what sort of things would they say?
Through a rapid-series of short poems Raymond Luczak, author of seven acclaimed poetry collections such as Mute (A Midsummer Night's Press) and The Kiss of Walt Whitman Still on My Lips (Squares & Rebels), imagines the inner lives of inanimate objects. We learn what it's like to be a dressing room mirror, a bobby pin, a discarded mattress, a stapler, a credit card, a hearing aid, and a bagful of marbles among other things.
