Embracing the Fall

Reviews of Embracing the Fall from the publisher’s website. “Her poems speak of the strengthening quality of loss and the regeneration of the spirit. She frequently uses nature as a metaphor . . . The accessibility of her messages makes this collection valuable for YA collections.” Sue E. Budin, YA Librarian, “Kliatt” “In front of a class of aspiring writers, her eyes light up and her enthusiasm seems to exude an ethereal sort of energy that inspires her students.” Diana Dillaber Murry, The Oakland Press “These poems are put your toe in because they seem gentle and funny, and your foot is gone, never mind your hat–into delightful and sometimes wicked depths.” Faye Kicknowsway, Poet, Professor of English Literature, University of Hawaii “The imagination finds its proper home here with the sure tone and unflinching eye of a poet who is not afraid to dare the heights to find a truly original landscape.” Judith Kitchen, State Street Press
