The Café of Our Departure - Paperback

by Priscilla Atkins (Author)

This collection of lyric poems is a fugue of friendship: a straight girl and a gay boy coming of age in early 1970s America. Interwoven with a lifetime of intimacies shared, the narrative tracks a second life of grief, when a soul-mate dies. There is a sense of private humor perfectly matched, and a sense of every thing holy.
