"I see tongue on glass, the gritty taste of salt on skin and that final dusty breath."

strong poetic voice [ No Rating ] 4 Feb 2006

by Eva Schultz

I had a couple favorites - "Near Miss at an El Station" (terrific little story - kind of like a 55 Fiction or a short-short) and "The Collector" (in a short space, this managed to say volumes about relationships, respect, and showing love in the little things - it was powerful and moving). Something about "Target Practice at Poetry Reading" totally worked for me - the ending just nailed it. The narrator of "Cold Mittens" felt especially real, and "The Day I Forgot" just made me smile.

Kathy has an extremely powerful voice. Highly recommended.
