Water, Earth, Air, Fire, and Picket Fences

Carefully crafted in both free and formal configurations, the poems in this book take the reader on an artful journey through concentric circles, starting with the poet's personal encounters with the world around her (including a terrifying bout with cancer)-and gradually widening into those "other realms" that reach beyond our senses, provoking both wonder and humility. These may be small poems, but they leave an impression on the reader that is both large and lasting.
