Description
When Raymond Luczak was growing up deaf in a hearing Catholic family of nine children, his mother shared conflicting stories about having had a miscarriage after-or possibly around-the time he was conceived. As an elegy to his lost twin, this book asks: If he had a twin, just how different would his life have been?

Reviews
"A compendium of deftly crafted verse that is contemplative, eloquent, and thought-provoking, 'Once Upon A Twin: Poems' is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Contemporary American Poetry collections." * Wisconsin Bookwatch *
"Luczak is a skilled craftsman and this collection shows him operating within a variety of syntactical styles ... One of the many striking things about this collection, as well as Luczak's poetry in general, is the immediacy and directness. He is not a poet who hints. He is a poet who reports. In Once Upon a Twin he has submerged a diving bell into his memory. He makes his readers grateful for the inventory he brings back." -- Mike James * As It Ought to Be Magazine *
