Review

Review by Jennifer B. MacPherson, Comstock Review.org

Christine Delea's chapbook is Ordinary Days In Ordinary Places (Pudding House, 2000). Versatile as to subject matter, these poems possess fabulous titles, for example, one such is "The Hell With Tea and Pie at Denny's," another is "After My Druggist Dreams of Apple Trees." Original poetry that made me wish the book were 82 pages instead of 28.
