How to Pray in Pittsburgh

How to Pray in Pittsburgh is an exploration of aging, love, loss, and the everyday. A Pittsburgh native, Vivian I. Bikulege is a poet and writer with her roots planted in the South. In this small offering, Vivian makes poetry out of morning swims, dog walks, a long-lived marriage, and her sleeping bag. These poems are an examination of a life seasoned in memory from a voice to be trusted.
