Born into an Italian-Catholic family in a tight-knit Baltimore neighborhood, Leonora Dixon recalls the happy days of an innocent childhood. But how would she find the courage to leave a horrible marriage, provide for her daughters, and take charge of her future? "Peachy" Dixon's story is typical of girls born into immigrant families at the onset of World War II. They grew up in the 1950s and '60s immersed in stereotypical roles for women. So when the "man of the family" turns out to be an abusive drug addict, where is a woman and mother to turn? Her story is unique for the time in that she made bold decisions, but the right ones for the safety of her family. After a series of waitressing jobs at some of Baltimore's most famous restaurants, where she surrounded herself with friends, Leonora now looks back at what has been a "peachy" life.

First in the Lo-fi Poetry Series, CLASH BY NIGHT takes inspiration from The Clash's seminal album 1979 album, London Calling. Forty poets contributed to the volume covering each of 19 tracks plus "Liner Notes" sections of poems that reflect on the power of the album as a whole. This eclectic range of verse-scholarly, heartfelt, bombastic-transports readers back to their own age of rebellion, whether that happened on the banks of the Thames or the East River, in a small town or on the wide open plains. Lo-fi Poetry: Poets cover your record collection.
