Reviews for Laundry and Stories

by Shara McCallum

Laundry and Stories is filled with elegies and laments, as well as poems of praise and survival. There is no posturing and pretense in this book; the voice of this poet is searching and genuine. In this collection, Merrill offers us a vision of the world that is gritty and tender, honest and real.

Sample from Laundry and Stories

I always turn the radio


off
when I stop at the
stop
sign
by the white cross
where you died

I always turn the radio
off
some sort of ceremonial
moment of silence

today
I forgot
for the first time
to turn the radio
off

I was talking
to a new friend

can you forgive me
for forgetting
to turn the radio
off
and also
for living
