Henceforth I Ask Not Good Fortune

"Dotty LeMieux's poems sing about life in diners and on streets and in the natural world, about resistance and the grace of acceptance. They are deeply felt and charming observations about our shared humanity."

-Anne Lamott, best-selling author of Bird by Bird and Almost Everything

"Each poem here, rich with the sights, sounds, and smells of our familiar everyday, brings us news of our own world we may not have seen as clearly before. With wit and abundant vision, Dotty LeMieux delivers a lively, insightful collection."

-Jacqueline Kudler, author of Sacred Precinct, Sixteen Rivers Press, and teacher in memoir writing and literature at the College of Marin, Kentfield, California. Kudler received the Marin Poetry Center Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010
