Airstream

These fourteen stories by acclaimed poet Patricia Young explore the small victories and lurching disappointments, losses and betrayals of the everyday with a language and style that is anything but. A woman who cannot leave her house loses everything, her only companion a garrulous radio talk show host; a house fire sets into motion the end of a relationhip. Innocence is a constant theme here, and the loss of it, but there are handled with humour and compassion coupled with a fearless honesty that will leave you heartbroken.
