Sobre IBD

In this, her tenth poetry book, Prinnie’s subjects range from a rant about The Spoiled Generation, millennials’ exalted ideas of what they expect in a new home, to wondering about the future of the First Baby Born on Mars. She ponders the role of fate in our lives in two poems: The Stampede and Feeding Kittens while Watching for a Mushroom Cloud. In White Water World, Prinnie ends her book with a forecast about the tumultuous situations our children may be navigating in years to come.
