I am so glad others are enjoying these poems. I do recommend <u>The White Lie</u>. It has an unusually high percentage of fine and memorable poems (particularly the short ones), often with a dark sense of humor. Even the ones I didn't like at first have started to grow on me. I am something of a fan, myself.

I actually bought the book entirely on the strength of this poem, which appeared some months back on Poetry Daily:

The Wreck

Thanks, Wendy, for your kind words on the Pivot poems.
