Swirls
on a Green Plate Grandmother clicks on the keys of her heavenly Sears & Roebuck typewriter from the grave. Peering through the eyes of her daughter and granddaughter, she checks to see if her essence is being interpreted correctly in their poetry. A woman is strong! A woman stays the course! Meanwhile, Dene has been set free from the hook ups of an overnight Sleep Disorder Clinic. She is warned of immediate death unless she purchases an Oxygen macine. Instead she drives to a favorite shoe store and purchases a pair of red boots. Grandmother taps insistently from the grave “We Must Not Go Over board!” Daughter Ann does what she has been taught, and laughs with her mother in the eye of the storm. Sarcastically she writes her mothers epitaph and Dene bellows out a passionate laugh. “Blow the horns oh New Orleans! She will be presented in splendor! Her epithet reads, “She died with her boots on.”

An
Explosion of Toads An anguished wife dismembers her husband’s body; a bored couple worships their cat, Feng Shui “Century” farmers, ADD children, tarot readers, a pocket-change grocery shopper, hot steamy couples, packing house workers, victims of the storm, church ghosts, and passionate Nigerian Southern Baptists all tell their poetic stories. Ending sweetly, two loving, traveling friends of different races endure each other’s hair spray and snoring. A quick, fascinating read in the time it takes to have a relaxed coffee break. Price
