Amber Notes

Once again Rypma weaves words into poetic patterns that explore everything from the forbidden fruits to the healing gems of our lives. In this latest book, Amber Notes, she also "transports us across a lifetime and around the globe," as Atlanta Review editor Dan Veach puts it. Richard Katrovas, author of 14 books, concurs, adding that "an insect in amber is the perfect emblem for this dance."
