Man Kills Girlfriend Over Cold Sandwiches and Other Sad Tales (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781646623570)

This debut collection spans over twenty years of life-inventory, trying to figure out what women will do and where-from restaurants, marriage and parenting to dieting, divorcing and dating. These poems are distinctly delivered by a young, female voice which hungers for opportunity and understanding to be seen and heard in environments often dominated and run by men. Readers will witness difficult moments associated with failing marriage and disordered eating but will also discover a sense of resilience on the other side, as there are often strands of wit woven through the ache of loss and self-discovery. From butterscotch moonlit streets in rural California to a tiny bar in Sarasota, Florida from Omaha, Nebraska to the Tahoe National Forest in La Porte, California readers will better understand what drives a woman's longing to persist.
