“Steve Klepetar's collection reads like the discovery of old family photos in an attic; the memories real, the time period simmering just a moment later. A brilliant collection of work.” ~ Timothy Gager, The Thursday Appointments of Bill Sloan “A striking collection, memories seemingly real, anchored in everyday details of food preparation and housework, then combined with surreal, Chagall-like flights of fancy that grip your heart and squeeze. The poems of love, loss and longing are full of earthly passion even when they fly.” ~ Keith Tornheim, Fireflies “Each poem in this collection is a sketch, a portrait of a familial soul, laid out with both precision and affection.” ~ Christopher Reilley, Grief Tattoos and Breathing for Clouds
