Say Uncle
by Kay Ryan“A poetry collection that marries wit and wisdom more brilliantly than any I know. . . . Poetry as statement and aphorism is rarely heartbreaking, but reading these poems I find myself continually ambushed by a fundamental sorrow, one that hides behind a surface that interweaves sound and sense in immaculately interesting ways.” —Jane Hirshfield, Common Boundary
