In the third collection form this award-winning poet, Rudy Kikel uses the characters from "Hamlet" to examine relationships, chronicles one family's past and emigration to America and utilizes the framework of personal ads to explore how we say "yes" and "no."

"Rudy Kikel has invented a unique poetic form to contain, like a slim, elegant vase, the restless seas his people crossed to safe harbor and his own story passages searching for love."

--Edward Field

"A poet of large heart, crystalline insight and skillful technique."

--Lois Ames

"Like any good poet, Rudy Kikel talks to his ghosts but doesn't tame them. They begin to haunt us as well."

--Jennifer Rose
