The title of this book is meant to indicate that these poems, like the previous two collections, Leaves Falling Upon the Sky and Shattering the Glass Ceiling, are about ordinary events in ordinary people’s lives written in conversational language. It’s not erudite enough to be a coffee table book A coffee table book usually holds professional prize winning photos or profound formal essays. That is not this book. This book can comfortably sit on a kitchen table to be opened over breakfast coffee or perused with a lunch sandwich. The simple, down to earth thoughts, are like putting on an apron before mixing up a batch of biscuits. It belongs in a kitchen to be used, loved, spilled on, and dog-eared. Please enjoy.
