Andrea Potos invites us to join writers in a quiet Amherst bedroom, or fields where wind erases the edges of heather and gorse-or to be delighted by remembered poets in a mall, a gym or a movie theater. In these poems, time beautifully splits, like light through a chandelier or a glass doorknob.

A literature lover's dream! Through dream, letter, history, travel, memory and pure imagination, we enter the real and literary lives of not only two Emilys, but also an Andrea. I love the weaving in of familiar themes and language-from the moor and gorse to the white gown and the Amherst home-plus there are plenty of surprises! It's a joy of a collection to read-a playful, soulful honoring of two writers who changed the ways we see the world.
