Zen of ironing by Beth Krommes from Washing Lines : a collection of poems selected by Janie Hexted and Barbara McNaught

I enjoy washing clothes, not necessarily rinsing out the smalls,but the clearing of the dirty linen basket is always is a good thing.  The pegging out and the subsequent bringing in, of the perfumed delights on a summer’s day is a joy.  Less, fun is the ironing of the crumpled remains at the end of an inclement day.  

Nonetheless, a poetry book to celebrate such an underrated event must be remarkable and to bring to my attention some lesser known wood engravers and illustrators is a bonus.
