Behind the Wheel: Poems about Driving

(2) YA It's difficult to believe that the theme of driving offers much range for a single-author poetry collection, particularly when, as here, the mood is predominantly reflective and the flashes of humor, gentle. But the mostly free verse is conversational and unfussy, and the timeworn idea that "driving is like life" is simply a given here, with Wong relying on telling particulars rather than heavy universals.
