Poetry. A dynamic new collection by the winner of the PEN West Poetry Award. Rich's poetry tracks the globe, drawing us into the lives of ordinary people on nearly every continent. "'These begonias have come a long way,' writes Susan Rich in a marvelous poem called `Everyone in Bosnia Loves Begonias,' and so has she! I admired her talent years ago, and this book makes it clear that she has grown into a mature and accomplished poet"--Linda Pastan.
