What is Leaving New Jersey about?

Leaving New Jersey is a lyrical re-experiencing of putting down roots and tearing them up, an extraordinary poetic account of an ordinary woman's quest for home. Barbara Kamlers Leaving New Jersey is a captivating collection of prose poems.These lyrical, deeply moving poems work like sepia-tone postcards where family scenes are honed back to overheard talk, glimpsed expressions,streets and living rooms.
