looking for a book
by Christine Nofsinger 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

I have a patron looking for a book of poetry written by a woman within the past fifteen years. The poems are each accompanied by a photograph which depict life events--perhaps her father being discharged from the military. There might be some reference to abuse. It'a a slim volume of work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, chris (Marcellus)
