Poetry. Margaret Szmowski's debut volume, I WANT THIS WORLD, won the Peace Corps Writer's Award for the best book of poetry in 2002. Her latest collection of poems does not disappoint. It is an ironic collection of moments both beautiful and comic, carried by the unmistakable voice of this talented poet. "These poems are convincingly ecstatic.each particular place perches precariously on the rim of paradise"-Rebecca Seiferle.
