Blue Suburbia

How can
a few words
slice right to
your heart?

From its description at Amazon, Blue Suburbia sounded like a novel written just for me. I love poetry, and I
have a soft spot for confessional Anne Sexton-type poems. I love memoirs, especially sad childhoods. I grew
up in suburbia, so I've walked that neighborhood.

From the outside, Laurie Lico Albanese seemed to live an ordinary suburban life. But Laurie doesn't leave us there,
watching her life from the curb. She brings us inside, into the house, right into Laurie's heart.

It's hard to read Laurie's little poems about her life, at times; it feels like watching a person cry, watching a
person bleed. Recommended.
