Description



Book Synopsis



Between 1997 and 2025, poet Enid Osborn lived in a 2-story Italianate Victorian boarding house built circa 1902 in Westside Santa Barbara, California, in a cul-de-sac abutting the railroad and freeway. Blending autobiography, magic realism and fiction, Osborn paints a picture of a charmed-if-spartan life. Poems focus mainly on the early years of her tenancy, when the house stood amid a crumbling neighborhood in gang territory--an area which gentrified in later years. Subthemes include trains, insomnia, ghosts, rats, birds, colorful neighbors, surviving cancer, and living long enough in one place to play a bit role in its metamorphosis.



Review Quotes




Keenly and quietly observant, Enid Osborn records nearly thirty years of comings and goings from an upstairs apartment in an old Victorian house beside the tracks in Santa Barbara. Here you will meet Gino the house manager, Jon the artist, Lazaro the painter, Cho the shopkeeper, La Reina of the graveyard shift, derelicts, graffiti artists, and goodhearted abuelitas all up and down the block. Most importantly, you will meet the poet herself, and you will want her for a friend.

--Paul J. Willis, author of Somewhere to Follow

What I admire about Pedregosa St., and all of Enid Osborn's poetry, is its grounding in experience, the actual daily struggles of the world . . . and then, how her keen and original imagination transforms those encounters into a poetry of spiritual investigation, one that resonates with our common humanity, and resolves with our hope.

--Christopher Buckley, author of SPREZZATURA
