Poetry. Prose. "Sara Holbrook's book is like a Japanese fan unfolding-with bound-breaking poems and essays, we watch the picture form before us of a poet's life; of lessons taught, and lessons learned. There is a tough sweetness, or a sweet toughness, to these stories, that allows us a personal and poetic look into a world that is both private and universal"-Sarah Willis. ISN'T SHE LADYLIKE? combines poetry with black and white snapshots from the childhood of the noted performance poet and author the poetry collection Chicks Up Front. Sara Holbrook has also written eight books for children and teens.
