"Reading these poems is a lot like eating jalapenos; they all look the same, but some are a lot stronger than others. Your eyes water, your nose runs and your throat burns... But it's oddly satisfying and leaves you wanting more. After you recover, you promise yourself you're going to be more careful... Then, the desire for a jalapeno sneaks up on you. You find yourself once again dipping into the unknown with trepidation and fascination. This book is for all who need a little jalapeno for their soul." Carol Jacobson
