In Guthrie's introspective fourth collection, she explores with humor and honesty the loneliness of being divorced at middle age. Literary and historical references abound as Guthrie muses on the potentially magical qualities of Sylvia Plath's prom dress, or imagines she is dating John Keats. Perhaps the funniest entry in the collection imagines a potential dating profile for 15th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. In response to the prompt "What I like," Bosch declares, "I like flanged mermaids who flirt with anonymous knights, visors down, both terminating piscinely."
