emotional funny hopeful reflective fast-paced
In the mood for poetry about learning how to drive? About the heady excitement, and the horror, and what happens if you pump anti-lock brakes? (And yeah I totally laughed at that one.) Want to relive your own horrifying ascent to the driver's side through your parents' moralizing tales, filtered through someone else's words? Then you might enjoy Behind the Wheel! I know I'll think of "Grandmother's Car" a lot, myself, because I've known women like Grandmother, and I know them still. My full review is available here.
