Blurb
These are impeccably-crafted poems brimming with wit, intelligence, and verve. Seraphs and fruitbats -not to mention the kindness of the sliced banana -are some of the delights present in Wonders at the Corner. Suzanne Collins s debut collection simply bedazzles. Collins finds inspiration, and the opportunity for existential musing, in unlikely places: the waiting room of a car repair shop, say, or as a patient in a dentist s chair. In fact, unexpectedness is the collection s greatest strength -and that quality is as evident in Collins s crisp phrasing as it is in her penchant for looking at life from an offbeat angle. It makes for a witty, disarming debut (Barbara Carey, Toronto Star)

Kindred Spirits
Like the seed, it finds wonder and wit in a mundane setting (a cinema queue), though here it's a warm YA romance instead of poetry.
Fangirl, Vol. 3
Shares the seed's affectionate humor about everyday obsessions, but trades wry poems for a sweet friends-to-lovers college story with art.
Pumpkin Heads
Keeps the seed's charm in small, odd places like fair food stalls, yet it's a gentle illustrated romance rather than existential musing.
Flocons d'amour
Both mine unlikely settings for delight, but this is lighter, plot-driven holiday romance instead of quiet offbeat verse.
Bare necessity
Same wry humor about life's indignities, but as a full romantic comedy plot with a guaranteed happy ending rather than standalone poems.
Happiness for beginners
Keeps the warm wit and eye for ordinary moments, though it trades compressed verse for a cozy small-town love story.
