~Life, love, politics -- Pairs of Poems examines various facets of our relationships with the world, and the people, around us.~

By pairing poems about similar topics written in different moods at different points in time, Pairs of Poems gives us a variety of perspectives on topics as diverse as nature, love, history, and politics.

"With an often politically satiric voice, Pairs of Poems embraces freeways and oceans, warehouse stores and forests, urban parks and picketers. In these twenty-two pairings, F.I. Goldhaber's images move easily from the domestic to the celestial, from a cat's small nose-smudges left on a window to the moon 'marked with sleep lines' at dawn. This collection is the candid record of a seasoned writer who, when faced with 'plot roadblocks,' turns to a 'steamy hot shower,' wondering with wit
...how any good prose
was written before
running water.'"

Poet Paulann Petersen Author of The Wild Awake and Blood-Silk

"The title Pairs of Poems gives the reader the key to enjoying this book. Each numbered section features two poems about similar themes written in different moods. I love the poet's use of colorful language and the accessibility of the ideas to even a non-poet like me. The poet writes with equal pathos and sly humor about our current political morass and nature."
