Can you recognize the turning points in your life when they overtake you? The women and men who populate the short stories in "Observers" find themselves in situations - some mundane, some extraordinary - that will probably change them forever, though they don't always realize that's what's happening. One character acquires a lonely dog, one begins to recognize the harbingers of an alien encounter, another watches an eclipse on a wild night in New Orleans, and still another unexpectedly finds that she has outgrown an old love; all experiences that probably have deeper consequences than even the stories' conclusions might suggest. Eleanor Lerman made her debut in 1973 with the publication of her first book of poetry, Armed Love (Wesleyan University Press), which was nominated for a National Book Award. Her second book of poetry, Come the Sweet By and By, won the inaugural Juniper Prize of the University of Massachusetts Press in 1975.
