A book of poetry named the 1995 co-winner of Four Way Books Award Series.

"..(I) celebrate the sharp sense of humor in this book. There's considerable sweetness to it, but the marinades are regularly and robustly spiced: this is sweetness in a pickle... With Funeral Pie you expect dessert and get a duel, or vice versa--either way, you'll probably want seconds." -- Heather McHugh, judge, Four Way Books Award Series
