Her poetry, essays and articles have appeared in numerous journals and magazines.\u003cp\u003e\"Dorothy Wall consistently uses language as a tool to expose her own vulnerabilities and the frailties of the world. Her pen leaves nothing unturned, unexamined-joy and grief receive the same scrutiny and, as a result of that process, the source is rediscovered and offered to the reader as a small gift.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Stewart Florsheim, author of A Split Second of Light\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In Identity Theory, Dorothy Wall 'holds aside marble folds\/exposing the white undersheen,\/a monument to the art of\/disrobing.' This collection moves from objective, almost statue-like representations of emotional realities to a world of passion and uncertainty wherein a dead mother begins 'talking almost every day.' These clean, well-wrought poems bring alive the personal struggles of a master poet.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Charles Entrekin, author of Listening: New \u0026amp; Selected Work\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is the poet who will ground you inside terrain where you can walk around in wonder, yet lift you to heights that give a view of the world that is transformative. This poet has mastered her craft with an attention so meticulous and so fine-tuned, so sensitive and sensory that it has resulted in this body of work, one that deserves to be read over and over.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Andrena Zawinski, author of Something About, \u003cbr\u003e PEN-Oakland Award recipient\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1st World Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49989786501360,"sku":"9781421886428","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781421886428","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
