<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"These small pleasures of intelligent thoughtful, and thought-provoking poems will warm the reader's heart."</strong></p><p> <strong> -Sandra Costich</strong></p><p><strong>"An old song tells us that "Little things mean a lot," and rarely has this been as true as it is in <em>Small Pleasures, </em>Nikia Leopold's bittersweet engagements with a glorious and mortal world. The title poem describes "Pleasures with the heft of tinsel, / so small they're irreducible." Also irreducible are these sharply observed, precisely crafted poems that contain, and provoke, depths of feeling."</strong></p><p> <strong> -Michael Palma</strong></p><p><strong>"If you want to be moved, read these poems."</strong></p><p> <strong> -Julia Wendell</strong></p><p><strong>"Niki Leopold is an exquisite receiver-of sensory news, complex emotions, hints of meaning. Her poems are passionate, delicate, fierce, brave."</strong></p><p> <strong> -Mary Azrael</strong></p><p><strong>"The sparse, finely made poems in Niki Leopold's <em>Small Pleasures </em>possess the intricacy of snowflakes, each crystalline portrait revealing the wonder of existence encountered in an ordinary moment."</strong></p><p> <strong> -Pauline Uchmanowicz</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Niki Leopold is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars in Poetry, and has a Ph.D. in Art History, also from Hopkins. Her poems have appeared in <em>The American Scholar, Commonweal, Poetry East</em> and <em>Poetry</em>. Finishing Line Press published her chapbook, <em>Dark Feathers</em>. Her children's book, <em>Adam's Crayons</em>, is out from Galileo Press. She lives with her husband in Ruxton, Maryland.</strong></p><p><br></p>
