"Susan Lilley's clear speaking voice combines with her knack for striking images and metaphors to create a tone that is both intimate and inventive. It's hard to stop reading these open-hearted accounts that follow her life from girlhood to womanhood in charming poems, often erotic and always richly detailed."
-BILLY COLLINS

In a voice both lyrical and conversational, Orlando Poet Laureate Susan Lilley interprets various stages of womanhood while parsing the beauty and decay of her beloved homestate of Florida.
