In You Cannot Shoot a Poem, Paula Closson Buck gives us thoughtful, clever, deeply felt, and skillfully structured poems. With sections set in Niagara, NY; Varosha, Cyprus; and Venice, Italy, Buck brings the personal into the larger world and dissects relationships--with her sister and her minister father--and the ills of the world, including racism, the destruction of the planet, the failures of politicians, and the failure of religion.
