“Time is not linear, Leah Browning proves as she weaves memory and the present moment together with graceful precision. Educated by grief and nimble in their passion, these poems have an evocative candor that is surprising in its gentleness.”
~ Shoshauna Shy, editor of Woodrow Hall Editions and founder of the Poetry Jumps off the Shelf program
“It's rare to find a book of poems that speaks to the plainest and most honest part of the heart, but Making Love to the Same Man for Fifteen Years does so beautifully. There are separations and betrayals as well as love and laughter, but the stuff of life walks through the poems, carrying the reader along on a ride that is often painful but always meaningful.”
~ Christine Klocek-Lim, editor of Autumn Sky Poetry and recipient of the 2008 Ellen La Forge Poetry Prize
“Leah Browning cuts open her soul and life and splays it onto the page in this beautiful collage of words and confessions. She shows us the magic and darkness of going from hope to despair and all the way back to hope again. Written in a poised and elegant manner, Making Love to the Same Man for Fifteen Years captures the essence of modern day life and relationships—from birth and death to that wonderful resurrection of a second chance.”
