Stevenson "corn"tinues to transform the ordinary into something more notable in his latest collection of brief poems. Keenly observed and percolating with wit, whimsy, and sometimes nostalgia, the poems' subject matter ranges from umbrellas and defunct diners to old shoes and electric fans. The watercolor-washed drawings are loose and easygoing. This collection is as satisfying as a meander down a country road.
