Lombardo said of this collection, \"[Sara Ries Dziekonski] unveils truths of a family-run restaurant from the other side of your diner dinner plate. I could smell the food buried in the tension. The pace, the teamwork, the interaction with customers, both good and bad, become a solid core of the poet's diner-sized revelations. Her poems made me hungry for more.\" \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47403615682738,"sku":"9781950413805","price":28.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/e44c3788b272d0700128afb5c92a5bff.webp?v=1778142786","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/todays-specials-poems-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
