Iris J Arenson-Fuller - Blooming Beyond Brooklyn Arrives, her first poetry book

 Great title! Apologies for the 'sideways' treatment. Her dedication to me I did figure out, below.

Lovely back cover.

Just came home from volunteer job working with the elderly. What a poetry book that would make!

Comcast will be here between 2 and 4.

IRIS, A SENSITIVE GIRL FROM BROOKLYN

Sensitivity can either kill you
like Plath or Arbus or Sexton
or it can make of you a survivor

What's that they say?
Stronger at the wounded places.

And such a lady. She could star in
moving pictures, William Powell's
The Thin Man, with silky smooth
dresses and lips like Clara Bow. 

Our days go back to Goddard College
by the swiftly flowing Winooski 
and the good ole country store

Tastycakes, Krimpits, Beef Jerky
Our parents weren't around to oversee

Goddard is where she met her beloved,
Kim. Fate had plans for this brilliant
wide-eyed wonder of a man. 

A short life, well-lived, we've gotta
think of a way to defeat his progressive
neuromuscular disease, we miss you so!!!
