Slippery Surfaces by Donna Spruijt-Metz takes an unflinching journey into personal history, the lies and truths we tell each other and ourselves. The poems show us the illusiveness of memory, mix lyricism with humor to excavate secrets, and to examine love, death and divinity. What are the stories we tell ourselves to get through, and how do they change with time? How do we stand in the physical world as it crumbles around us? How does love build us and change us? These poems return again and again to our relationships with each other, with parents, children, loved ones, and with God.
