Summary
Norris's memoir is as much a coming of age story as it is about her move to Manhattan after college to work among the budding poetry scene in America, of which New York City was its national headquarters. Anyone interested in who's who among poets in America, and Elizabeth "Betty" Kray, their champion, will want to read this book.
