Red Boots
Little Eagle Press
by Michael Koehler

The most recent publication from Tomato Can Press is a collection of
nineteen poems by Kristin Roedell. These clean, uncluttered poems
concern universal issues: aging, love, parenthood, and loss. Ms. Roedell's
poems–most of which have previously been published elsewhere–will
appeal broadly to lovers of poetry.
