Eating Pears on the Rooftop

The poems in Eating Pears on the Rooftop by David Estringel explore tender heartbreak where "nights are hardest to bear, / alone, atop these unwashed sheets / that smell of you and me, still, / crinkled and heavy with ghosts." The reader discovers beauty and strength in these powerful poems. - , Poet-in-Residence Emerita at Northern Kentucky University
