"Youth floats by on a
forever blue sky day." If the delicious freefall of first love
has faded from your memory, read The Language of Small Rooms.
These poems are as delicate as "a painting in the air." The
tightly controlled verse and the tension between the lovers pull
the reader forward. Judith Bader Jones shows us how a summer
romance, if you are strong enough to live with longing and
regret, can fortify the heart.
