Scarf

“Pleased to meet you. My name is Vera,” begins this haunting sequence of poems. Vera works in a scarf store in Hamilton, teaches a class in knot-tying, and takes the mannequin head home to bed. With rare honesty, these poems poignantly elucidate the effects of loneliness and and the search for human empathy.
