Description
“Falling is not so easy as it looks from the ground.”
Against norm, an underwriter takes the bus to work one day, encountering—alongside ads for Claritin and business college—a poem that follows him around in fragments all week, reigniting memory and care for the people in his life, including his wife of many years.
This is the second entry in Biblioasis’s new Greetings, Chap! series of giftable chapbooks for every occasion: birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. Each comes with a place to write a message, and an envelope. Give the readers in your life more than the standard card, and discover the work of writers you might not otherwise come across.
Praise for Caroline Adderson
“All of Adderson’s characters are rounded and all have utility, not simply as plot devices but as part of a striving, suffering whole.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Caroline Adderson treats the domestic drama with elegance and wit, and what she has to say about her characters and their circumstances is often profound.”
—Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion
“Adderson achieves a remarkable effect with her prose. Its clarity is so overwhelming that it becomes intoxicating.”
—Globe and Mail
“Adderson excels at portraying life in all its glorious, devastating, unpredictable messiness.”
—Toronto Star
“A prose style as elegant and controlled as a swallow dive . . . No one could ever accuse Adderson of timidity when it comes to subject.”
—The Independent
“Arresting . . . [Adderson] writes with a rare understanding of human frailty.”
—The Times (London)
