The Night We Danced with the Raelettes

Foothills Publishing

<p>Stephen Corey's "The Tempest" warns "Spirits of fashion and monsters of commerce lurk, bedfellows eager to keep us from our own best inventions and songs. Debra McCorkle Wells' "If it ain't been in a pawn shop" reminds us not to be so serious all the time. Not all the poems in HUNGER ENOUGH are warnings or suggestions. Many of them simply reflect the seductive nature of all the pretty things. Who doesn't want to experience Montana skies, Key West oceans, Belgium candy shops, though it takes a great deal of fuel to get there. Charles Rossiter's "Selecting Tunes for the Roadtrip" shows we are enticed by the road and the chance to be alone with our music: "The trick is to anticipate yourself a thousand miles from now on a gravel road in North Dakota or under wide Montana skies where all you'll want is to enhance the mood... This book does not exist to intimidate us into changed behavior, but is a reminder that HUNGER is different from appetite.</p>
