Steady Hands: Poems About Work

48 pp. | Clarion | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-90351-1 $16.00
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Megan Halsey & Sean Addy. This collection of free-verse poems explores the myriad careers readers can ponder pursuing. Whether describing the wisdom of a janitor ("He senses / all the secret wishes / a building whispers / in the night") or the anxieties of an author, Zimmer's writing is insightful and original. The accompanying mixed-media collages, sophisticated and whimsical, are themselves inspiration for aspiring artists.
