Description
from "Overtures on an Overturned Piano"
. . . our hi-beams
played
across the gleaming bed
of snowdrifted bramble
where it lay,
moaning chaotically . . .

Reviews
"Boss' poems generate their own rambunctious music and remind us 'yes, / miracles happen.'" "The poems ring clearly; 'pitch,' they recall, is a way to fall as well as a way to sing." "Boss flawlessly employs subtle music." "This is poetic form within and without that makes a true energy."
