"Rigby's pieces are tightly wound coils of poetic energy, written from fascinating viewpoints...They are exact, intricate, surprising..."

Paul Zimmer, The Georgia Review


ABOUT: Published in 2004, this chapbook features fifteen of the poet's early poems on women in urban environments, botanical images, and art, among other themes. Publisher Gary Metras writes, "...the author reveals a unique voice...lyrical yet surreal, symbolist and descriptive. Ms. Rigby manages to meld these traditions."
