A new collection by the author of 'On Occasion', 'The Woman Poems' and 'New Spaces'. Joel Oppenheimer says in the preface to this book, "Every poem is an investigation of the world we live in, the way we live, and the way we treat ourselves and others. I hope that the poems allow you to play as they have allowed me to play -- with language, with ideas, with juxtapositions, with life. Because human beings play, and that play makes living possible."
