by Suzanne Jones Weisberg (Author)

A first book of poetry reflecting on the author's childhood living in her daddy's Art Deco hotel in 1940s South Miami Beach, where New York City mobsters, Batista's second favorite mistress, salsa music, and transvestites held sway. Includes musings about coming of age as a Jewish female art student in Florida and Philadelphia, chocolate truffles, why handsome men are like cakes, and her later life and loves as a professor's wife, a lawyer, and a devotee of Swinburne and Sappho.
