About Lines in Opposition:

"Lines in Opposition is an apt title for Maureen Sherbondy's collection of observant, reflective, and sometimes acerbic poems. The lines are forthright and the strategic dissonance makes a music suggestive of klezmer: stimulating, energetic, no-holds-barred fun-serious fun. These pieces woke me up. Some will keep me awake."
