Anne Lindbergh, the daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, has written a wryly humorous and, at times, sorrowful, look at everyday life with a unique perspective. I would recommend this slim volume of poetry with its eclectic mixture of subject matter. My personal favorite is about Noah on the ark, very clever and shrewd. Anne died at age 52, but her unusual take on everyday life is refreshing. I know she wrote many children's fantasy books but this is the first non-children's book I'm aware of. If poetry isn't your cup of tea, this won't make you a fan, but if you enjoy well-written poetry, pick up a copy of Local Vertical.
