Description
In the contemporary social-scapes of Kelly-Anne Riess? poems, paradise got lost a long time ago. Riess? Eve is closer to Bridget Jones parachuted onto the streets of Regina. These are sly, wry, manic, and determinedly human poems for the new millennium. With a documentary eye and the poetic sensibility of a Jann Arden, Riess writes candidly about getting dumped, getting laid, and getting paid by “pasty/bosses with sausage-fat limbs who crumb/creativity like dried bread.? A sassy debut.? ? Jeanette Lynes, author of It's Hard Being Queen: The Dusty Springfield Poems
