look at all the places
where you meet the world
teensy purple seedlets
flower trash in gutters, glowing
treelines
oceansides
so many diamonds
of shiny, invincible sand
"Windswept", in Mermaids of Albuquerque
“Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”

"With desperation or ambivalence, obsession or just plain hope, Cohen’s characters navigate the mysterious etiquette of digital-age romance.... explores what we think about when we anticipate love." —Publishers Weekly
"A daring biopsy of what is rapidly becoming the dominant romantic conundrum; love between absolute strangers." —Los Angeles Review
"...about the state of modern romance, but it's also about our timeless fascination with identity—a weighty subject that Cohen handles with intelligence and a dash of much-needed whimsical comedy.." -Oprah Magazine
