- Summary
- "In this new collection of poems, Gary Soto once again displays his impressive poetic range - funny, sad, urbane, naive. He digs deeply into the wonders of the everyday in an ever-shifting world - stocks that become fodder for paper shredders, the job he almost got, the beautiful junior high girls who became women "shoring up shadows under their eyes." In other poems, precocious Berkeley dogs practice feng shui, and shirts are ironed with "the steam of Mother's hate.""--BOOK JACKET.
