David Romanda's Why Does She Always Talk About Her Husband? is minimalist poetry

at its finest-quick, punchy, and deceptively spare. Romanda stands on the shoulders of

modern greats, such as Raymond Carver, Charles Bukowski, and Charles Simic, adding

his own offbeat, rebel playfulness, exploring topics such as love, loneliness, sickness,

and joy. These are poems that beg to be read aloud and shared with others. Readers will

recognize themselves in his clever observations and smile or even laugh out loud.
