Karen Friedland

Tales from the Teacup Palace Karen Friedland

An ordinary neighborhood on the edge of the city comes to life in Karen Friedland's Tales from the Teacup Palace-its dogs, trees, houses, spouses,

and people, living and gone.

With humor and insight, Friedland mines the nuances of her particular terroir as well as her own memories, all while striving to follow Forster's

dictum, "only connect."

This is a collection of vivid, contemplative poems that were expressly written to be enjoyed.
