GIVING GROUND - Tecno-Libro

Giving Ground pulses with traffic and teems with life, leading us through tangled streets, intertwined lives. . We find a place of overgrown gardens, alleys in bloom, pheasants in flight, rabbits, stray cats, and Spanish love songs, a place where the ordinary appears in an extraordinary light. With deft narrative strokes, Giving Ground reveals a place and its people, lives balanced on the shifting ground of language and culture. Like the place, Lynn Knapp s poems are wry, real, and poignant. About the Author: Lynn M. Knapp is a poet, memoirist, teacher, and musician.
