Food ♦ Family ♦ Friends
What food you eat, whether your family nurtures
or abuses you, and how friends fit into your life

"This collection is the candid record of a seasoned writer" -- Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita Paulann Petersen
Print: $10.49
eBook: $3.99
"With an often politically satiric voice, Pairs of Poems embraces freeways and oceans, warehouse stores and forests, urban parks and picketers.
In these twenty-two pairings, F.I. Goldhaber's images move easily from the domestic to the celestial, from a cat's small nose-smudges left on a
window to the moon 'marked with sleep lines' at dawn. This collection is the candid record of a seasoned writer who, when faced with 'plot roadblocks,'
turns to a 'steamy hot shower,' wondering with wit '...how any good prose/was written before/running water.' "
