Lend Me Your Wings - Lillo Way - Bog

"The poems in this award-winning collection take the reader on a ride with things that fly, including the poet's grandmother (who was an aerialist with Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth), birds, ghosts, insects, ancestors, an angel or two, as well as humans attempting to flee. The manuscript was a finalist for The Blue Lynx Poetry Prize, The May Sarton New Hampshire Poetry Prize, The Sally Albiso Poetry Book Award, The Barry Spacks Poetry Prize, and The Brighthorse Prize. One of the poems, "Offering," won the 2018 E.E. Cummings Award from New England Poetry Club, and another, "Appropriation," was awarded a Florida Review 2018 Editors' Prize. Arresting images by artist Rachel Brumer interlace the poems in this extraordinary collection, enhancing their sense of wonder and surprise"--
