These are provocative narratives of working people with all the punch of wit and all the lyricism of poetry...If you're looking for plot twists and engaging ambiguity, here they are. If you're looking for open endings, characters you may live next door to, or may have had a drink with, or an affair with, or may have heard tell of, here they are. If you're looking for poignant and wry situations cast as sudden fictions and prose poems, you'll want to read And Your Bird Can Sing. - Richard Hague, author of Learning How Stories, Yarns, and Tales
