Description
With bright, bold images, Susan L. Helwig's Pink purse girl dances off the page. With "eyes honed in a blizzard," she writes of love, lust and life, moving with ease from a lover's sheets, warm from the dryer, to the contents of a third prize poetry winner's perfect pink purse. Along the way she visits the prairies of her past, travels to Paris, falls in and out of love, and hears the music of the sixties. This is a vibrant, warm and wry collection, a remarkable book.

Austria, 2009 marked her fourteenth Continental trip.
