Rhyming Pittsburgh

Jake Willoughby leaves behind his beloved Pacific Northwest to pursue Maggie Fox, the Long Island girl who got away. The next few months will take him across the country six times, to the depths of isolation and the heights of love, from the ruins of the Twin Towers to the bridges of the Oregon Coast. Along the way, he might become a poet. "I set out to give my heart to a woman," he writes. "Instead, I gave it to America."
A moving novel-with-poems from the award-winning author of "Frosted Glass" and "Painting Tacoma."
