Sarah Ghoshal’s Changing the Grid (Finishing Line Press 2015)

Sarah Ghoshal’s poems are tough, compassionate and humorous observations of an ordinary suburban working-class life of caboodles and popples, dog eared-paper backs, lawnmowers, Winnie the Pooh sweatshirts, roller rinks and yellow plastic bags.In her twenty dollar jeans, like Charles Olson, Goshal is a poet of place, celebrating  and lamenting the present and the passing of Central New Jersey, her curvy honesty always leaping forward.
