    About this ebook

    What a wagon train

    What a long bus ride

    From East Coast to West

    Or was it reversed side to side

    I drove it and rode it

    And hitchhiked it too

    Just to see cornflowers

    Wheat and sky so blue.

    The themes of nature and travel echo through Under the Eaves and Arbors, the debut collection of poetry by Elissa Rubenstein. Throughout the anthology, she explores the way in which journeys create memories, which are recalled with vivid imagery.

    A varied and personal collection by an exciting new talent, perfect for curling up with and getting lost in.
