Continental Breakfast by Danny Caine

$15.00
SKU: 9780996103770

PAPERBACK Mason Jar Press (2019)

"Danny Caine's Continental Breakfast portrays suburban life in the Midwest with humor, pathos, and tender care. Populating chain restaurants, deserted shopping malls, and family Passover dinners, the characters of the poems narrate an experience that, while familiar to many, doesn't often make it into the pages of poetry collections. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll raise your can of Bud Lite." -- Megan Kaminski, Author of Deep City
