--------------------a story in verse--------------------

by ADA LIMÓN


WINNER OF THE
2005 PEARL POETRY PRIZE


80 pages, trade paperback, $14.95, ISBN 978-1-888219-35-7

"The poems are stunning-the real deal.
- Marie Howe


"This big fake world is not a mere nosegay of poems but a solid world
(as real as it is fake, as any good work of art should be), a poetry
of story and voice, a narrative of fracture and repair, that through its art
becomes a whole—and a whole new thing."


—Frank X. Gaspar,
2005 Judge



"Part domestic fairy tale, part urban grit, part exposé of how making
a living and making a life are often pitted against each other,
this big fake world is a sophisticated exploration of manners, marriage,
and the fragile bonds that desire both creates and destroys . . .
Ada Limón has a gentle touch, and an intelligence that is quick, kind, and
precise toward her deftly drawn characters . . . the lives and
language of this book are radiant emblems of a truly discerning mind and
heart."

—Tom Sleigh
