"Ordinary Words celebrates Ruth Stone's 84th birthday. Ordinary Words captures a unique vision of "Americana" marked by Stone's characteristic wit, poignancy, and lyricism. The poet addresses the environment, poverty, and aging with fearless candor and surprising humor."--BOOK JACKET.
"Stone's subjects are trailer parks, state parks, prefab houses, school crossing guards, bears, snakes, hummingbirds, bottled water, Aunt Maud, Uncle Cal, lost love, dry humping at the Greyhound bus terminal, and McDonald's as a refuge from loneliness. Her heroes are dead husbands, wild grandmothers, struggling daughters - ordinary Americans leading simple and extraordinary lives."--BOOK JACKET.
