About The Book I Never Read:

"Bobbi Lurie’s poems live in that delicious middle between fantasy and reality, between movie images and the grocery store, between dinner party chitchat and solid tree bark. The Book I Never Read thrives in meticulous tension, as poems negotiate violence and parent/child relationships, global politics and Rocky Road ice cream. Lurie’s voice is undaunted by her oftentimes daunting subject matter.I bow to her fearless imagination."
