The selection of poems in this book by Janet Coplin includes aspects of the author’s life in some unexpected ways. The trip from childhood to adulthood is a trail of trial and error, love and laughter, and relationships with all living things. The title, Loose Change, is a metaphor for emotions and memories that float and for which there is no certain home. The inevitability of change is as loose as the coins in our pockets.

This book of poetry by Janet Coplin brings her latest observations of life’s experiences, especially the seemingly mundane as she has encountered them in various locations. Several of them are laced with humor and a tip of the hat to the author O. Henry with some unexpected endings. These poems offer perspectives on the world around us and preserve moments of serendipity. Circling back to some of the experiences in our lives can be a way to better understand them.

En la jungla social, ¿eres cazador o eres presa? Cada día, en cada interacción, se libra una batalla silenciosa. Es una lucha por la influencia, el control y el respeto. Mientras algunos parecen navegar este terreno con una facilidad innata, anticipando cada movimiento y guiando las conversaciones hacia sus propios fines, otros se sienten constantemente un paso por detrás, reaccionando en lugar de actuar, siendo la presa en un juego que no comprenden del todo. Este libro es un manual de transformación.
