That is to say, Carol Fisher Saller looks and carries herself like a grammarian, like a copy editor who takes her job seriously, like a professional woman with a wry wit who enjoys tactful, subtle humor.

Emily and Jess are five years of age apart and complete opposites.  Emily, the elder, is straight-laced and pin-striped.  An MBA [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Starvation lake,  is the not-very-becoming name of a little out-of-the-way tourist town in Northwestern Michigan.  A town with a preoccupation with hockey.  And murder. Dun dun DUN!
Okay, it&#8217;s definitely a mystery, but it&#8217;s not quite like that.  Written by Chicago north-sider Bryan Gruley and a finalist for the 2009 Great Lakes Book [...]]]></description>

In this quick-paced memoir, Raymer bounces from job to job and guy to guy, taking us along for the ride. And it&#8217;s a fun ride, bouncing to and fro among different sports betting outfits&#8211;this book certainly doesn&#8217;t qualify as [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s the horror movie you started watching and now, damn it, you have to finish.  It&#8217;s the unsettling chunk of story you overhear on the train that fills the rest [...]]]></description>

As a longtime poet (since 2nd grade!) and an MA degree holder in English literature with a specialization in poetry, I feel qualified to adjudicate a book on the study and appreciation of the art.
