Kings of the Rock and Roll Hot Shop

Poetry June 2014 ISBN 978-1-936628-26-1 32 pages Softcover, 5½" x 8½"

"Through empathy and penetrating observation, Edwards goes deep inside the art of glassmaking. What she brings back in the form of poems is fascinating—she has absorbed and passes on to us the jargon of the guild, as well as the cautions and the glories the 'kings of the hot shop' encounter on the way to finished creations. It is a small, self enclosed universe, and Edwards its sympathetic cosmologist."—Jeffrey Skinner
