What is it About?
Detailed Poetry of events, future, past and people who have inspired Mr. Saft.

My Thoughts:

To fully grasp the beauty of these poems they need to be read over and over again.  Each time you will find a richness in description whether it be about tomatoes, cucumbers or city above the sea.

One that sticks with me has a anti Vietnam War Chant of the 1960’s
“Hey, Hey LBJ
How many boys did you kill today?”

That chant in it’s own right is chilling to think about especially if put in the perspective of the poems claims.

Very good and moving pieces of work if you have time to really let you mind soak in the true meanings.

Heat Wave by Ricard Castle

Good so far having hard time because these characters are already made visual because of the show.  You would think that makes it easier but for my brain, no...

Formula for Murder (A Maternal Instincts Mystery) by Diana Orgain

Enjoying this one just as much as the other two in the series!

Dangerous Angels: The weetzie Bat Books (Paperback) by Francesca Lia Block

Last week I said this book was strange...well I have gotten use to it and find the characters really fun!

What I just FINISHED reading:

The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb: A Novel by Melanie Benjamin

 The historical parts of this book are really interesting but it is sad too.  I have one actual chapter to go...so I will be finished by today.

What I am going TO READ NEXT:

If You Lived At The Time Of The American Revolution by Kay Moore

Reading up on some American History for Memorial Day Weekend. ;-)
