Echoes Carry by Serena Agusto-Cox

The poems of Serena Agusto-Cox reveal life in its intimate, miniature moments...the community bonds forged at swim meets, the crackle of hard-working hands....the cold window glass against a child's head in the backseat of a car. Thanksgiving, a garden, long yearning, a potato pooled with butter--it is all here beneath the quiet, elegant pulse of life assembled with short lines and deep memory and immaculate care."-- Beth Kephart, National Book Award finalist.
