It's difficult to describe this chapbook-length poem and equally difficult to put it down once you have started to read.

Using prose, journal entries and careful word placement Rosen achieves a unique style for her description of a "literary day".

Ending with a letter to her editor this volume makes a wonderful contribution to the body of literature about literature.

From A Literary Day

I will keep swimming
today and tomorrow, but for the moment,
I have no
choice but to dive
into the center
of
the blank page
and bring the
words up
to the surface,
at least to eye level.
