Hometown for an Hour

In her second collection of poems, Jennifer Rose writes primarily of places and displacement. Using the postcards conventions of brevity, immediacy, and, in some instances, humor, these poems are greetings from destinations as disparate as Cape Cod, Kentuckiana, and Croatia. Rich in imagery, deftly crafted, and imbued with a lightness of voice, these poems are also postmarked from poetrys more familiar provinces of love, nature, and loss.
