The title "Galoshes" announces the tone of this collection of 75 contemporary poems divided into two parts: "Muddled Puddles" and "Puddle Play." Rich in playfulness and common sense, Elizabeth Boquet walks right into everyday experiences and dares to splash in them, catching the fresh spray of language, sudden losses and surprising discoveries bringing meaning to life. Clear-sighted and deep, this collection is a jubilant bow to life with all its grief and glory.
