"Sylvia Elber has captured those raw moments of insight when you realize what your life has been & what it can still be. Loss & disappointment are there, & so is an amazing forward-looking spirit. Lucid & honest, wonderfully skillful & intelligent-- these poems cannot help but move a reader. We have much to learn from them."--Dorothy Wall, co-author of "Finding Your Writer's Voice." "She has quiet strength, wry humor & a loving heart. To read these poems is to know this woman, & knowing her, find your own way more clearly, for her hand rests gently on your shoulder."--Joanne Gonzalez. "This book glimpses the poet's personal journey & metamorphosis with honest insight & wise self-reflection; a book that inspires hope, strength, & will to embrace the tribulations & beauty in our later years."--Daniel Skenderian, Ph.D. "These poems go straight to the heart of women's lives & illuminate their search for meaning. This vibrant, intense, passionate writing opens horizons to the young."--Marilyn Barrett, author of "Creating Eden." "My room-mates & I read these poems aloud to each other.

Elber, Sylvia

Bicycling to the Moon

Purdy the cat and Barker the dog live together in a sky-blue house on a hill. But while the two friends share a house, they are as different as cat and dog can be. Purdy has big dreams, while Barker likes to putter in the garden. Purdy likes to eat fish, but it is Barker who must scoop them from the lake for dinner. Their days together bring quarrels, contradictions, and craziness―a cat with so many ideas needs a dog with a lot of patience if friendship is to win out in the end. These captivating and very funny characters romp through a warm and busy story from Finland's number-one children's author.
