And Still We Laughed

Flowers sprouting from cracks in Texas concrete. A funeral where the men wear sunglasses. Moon rays flitting crisscross through the holes in a burnt-out fast food sign. And laughter. Michael Roets' debut poetry collection explores the interplay of desperation, sadness, beauty, hope, and the indominable petulance of folks who just refuse to let the world turn them unkind. This is a poetry collection.
