Review Quotes: "Joan Aleshire's absorbing memoir in poems reminds us that truth requires modesty, precision, and vision unclouded by ego. Her unfailing candor offers the everyday as the only day, where love and its betrayals unfold, and where, with the skillful composure and narrative drive of a seasoned poet's telling, she parallels the slow erosion of a marriage with the disenchantment of a generation--and does it with tact and insight, and, most wonderfully, without blame or regret." --Eleanor Wilner
