A Sign

(4) K-3 Overlit realistic paintings chronicle the narrator's girlhood vision of what she wants to be when she grows up--from sign maker, to circus performer, to astronaut. At the end of this spare autobiographical piece, Lyons reveals how her work as a writer compares to these professions, using metaphors that reach a bit too high of a crescendo but nevertheless make her point.
