THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS by Elizabeth Ferguson

004

Any of the poems in The First Order Of Business could be the first order of business in a sequence of thoughts, a conversation, a letter, a memoir.  The poems follow these threads, documenting slices of experienced life, dreamed life, ideas, and questions. 

Boldly, the collection moves from the serious to the hilarious with the blink of the reader's eye or the turning of a page. 

Elizabeth Ferguson is a contemporary poet living and working in Portland, Oregon. She goes by Izzy more regularly than Elizabeth, and her second book published with Two Plum Press, Point Of Entry reflects it, as will the upcoming new edition of this book.
