"Weird, delicate and disturbingly hilarious, June Melby says out loud what all those little voices in your head have been saying for years. She's the dance band on the Titantic, and her poems: prayers for all lost causes, broken hearts, and ends-of-millenia."
-- Bob Redmond, producer,
Seattle Poetry Festival
