This is a new poetry from Peter Conners. "Emily Ate the Wind" tells the story of the drinkers, gamblers, lifelong friends, and frustrated lovers whose lives revolve around the bar. Told in a series of vignettes, love letters, question and answer formats, newspaper clippings, short stories, and prose poems, the familiar dramas of these characters' lives unfold with deft, poetic strokes. From sweeping lyricism to gritty realist scenes, poet Peter Conners follows these characters from childhood to adulthood, from marriage to war, through loyalty and the shock of betrayal.
