The melancholia of the old days contend with sharp updated quick shots of the city on the move. A rich offering." and Neeli Cherkovski says it is a book written with "all the passion of a true elder in the art of poetry. Here are the sounds and sites of a city of poets, wonderfully knit. A reader will find the deep humors of San Francisco alive and well in the hands of a master." SIGNED by Winans on the title page and uncommon thus. Introduction by Charles Plymel. Index of titles and first lines. 172 pp. ISBN: 978-1935656159.

These poems have been described as "expressing an essential joy in life, . . vivid evocations of place and mood, satirical commentaries on current events, and poignant, fanciful, and lyrical reflections." Although she did not learn English until she was 17, George Starbuck, director of the Iowa Writers Workshop when she attended it in the late 1960s, commented that "she had not merely mastered the American language, but should play elaborate jokes on it." It was 36 years after 'Superstitions', before Wong May published another volume of poetry, although she had never stopped writing - and in 2022, she was awarded the Windham-Campbell Prize for her body of work. Somewhat oversized format, 135 pp. ISBN: 0-151867984.
