€10.00

[…] Like the birds she contemplates, these wise and generous poems evoke grief’s burying and a mother’s protective dive, but they also dig for joy – and deliver it – in the poignant, spiritually charged ground of midlife womanhood.

Sarah Green, author of The Deletions

[…] The intelligence of the poet’s voice, an exacting attention to the lushness of the natural world, and her resilient heart guide us, her readers, through this tender emotional territory.

Jane Hilberry, author of Still the Animals Enter
