Whether central to the poem or sitting on a side table, a mere accessory; whether a prop in an internal conversation with a you absent these 25 years or a desperately needed substance without which there is no facing the day, a cup of coffee inhabits each of these poems…Breathe in the scent and may it keep you awake.

As a collection, the poems neglect to make coffee a central theme. Yes, a coffee mug might be mentioned here or there…but the inclusion seems arbitrary at best. This reader was hoping for a rainy day read that centered around java. This reader was disappointed.

A great collection of contemporary poets from all across the US and several different countries, all with fascinating poems somehow related to coffee, sometimes in very unexpected and always original ways—coffee houses, shops, elegies, odes, relationships, and solitude shared with only coffee. Lorraine Healey has done a most enjoyable anthology on this topic so precious and intimate to so many people.
