Themes of waiting and dating also surface and postage stamps capture first dates in Washington State. In 2013 poems from this collection placed first in the Utah Original Writing Competition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The best poems arrive with the surprise of an unexpected letter--just for us. Salutations. We open the envelopes of Lisa Roullard's poems delicately. They release their spells: "blue beats," "heart braided to handwriting," the "single wing of a bird." Such lush and mysterious missives. Exotic stamps. This is a keepsake collection.</p><p><strong>--</strong><strong>Nance Van Winckel</strong>, author of <em>Our Foreigner</em></p><p> </p><p>These poems are alive with wry and mature vision. They bring us into their clarified moments with humor, playfulness, and great skill, and with tolerances between the mundane and the marvelous, word to word and line to line, that are astonishingly fine and surprising. Reading this collection, you get the feeling that a fresh, new voice has entered the conversation.</p><p><strong>--</strong><strong>Christopher Howell</strong></p><br>
