Once Upon A Neighborhood By Evelyn D. Klein First Edition Signed Copy Readers who wander into Evelyn Klein's neighborhood will find a warm welcome. This Twin Cities documentary punctuated by poetic insights invites readers as extended family: with a poem rising above the sunset. The neighborhood includes a rich mix of people, Battle Creek Park, train whistles, smartweed, day flower, seasons, blue heron, rivers, rush hour and geese that;clear the pond. Enjoy the visit, the discovery of burning sumac, prickly ash and maple, and the people who ;shuffle the world/in their cards/ as if they held/ both/ past and future/ in their hands.; Be awestruck as ;the moon casts its halo above shredded clouds.; And then, when ;the wide-eyed moon/ faces/ the golden-haloed sun/ slipping/ behind rooftops/ pulling night/ sky between them, you will come away from Klein's neighborhood inspired by sincerity and the wisdom of a life well led. Linda Back McKay, Author of Shadow Mothers: Stories of Adoption and Reunion and The Cockeyed Precision of Time Evelyn Klein has rooted her poems and stories in the landscape of the Midwestern neighborhoods she's lived in. You can feel the north winds whipping through her yard in winter and the moist heat and mosquito buzz of her Minnesota summers. An exquisite chronicle of life. Kimberly Nightingale, Publisher/ Editor, Saint Paul Almanac These poems give us a lovely detailed trajectory of a woman's life complete with all its bumps and beauty. Carol Connolly, Sai
