A chapbook of poems of correspondence written between two seasoned poets--Jared Smith and Kyle Laws.
This chapbook co-authored by poets Jared Smith and Kyle Laws presents extraordinary insights into the meaning of "town" and how we find out "place" at different points in our lives. The poems span the country from one small town to another, and across time--from the 1940s until today.
Colorado Poet Laureate Joseph Hutchison calls this collection "poetry of great subtlety, intelligence, and surprising pleasures."
