A dazzling eclectic collection awaits the reader in this expressive book of poems.  Careful moments are unveiled in these poems and her voice says so much.  Each poem will lull you in.  Subjects range from dreams to meals to so many things.  Piudik writes melodious poems, almost like songs.  From the poem “Deconstructing Buckwheat”:  “Last night she said that poetry is / a waste of paper.”  Piudik isn’t afraid to show vulnerability in verse.  From the poem “Pink”: “The legend of a minor cupcake. Why rain / is wetter than snow. An animated panther.”  Her imagination roars amongst these pages.
