Missed Connections of the Triangle Tara Lynne Groth

Pulled from real-life missed connections postings on Craigslist in the Raleigh-Durham region, these poems tell of modern drama taking place in the South. Popular romantic spots around the Triangle are not gardens and fancy restaurants, they're gas stations, Harris Teeters and office cubicles. Each line is taken from a different missed connection post and then rearranged to tell a story. From an ex-boyfriend carving a statue of his lost love to a man secretly fathering a baby, these are present-day true situations happening in the Triangle.
