West End Press, 2010

“She takes us on wisdom’s precise road trip, where the emotional and daily news collide and the personal and political cohabit and provide counterpoint. And we are willing travelers.”

— Joan Logghe

“This is a beautiful collection of wide-ranging poems that skillfully and lovingly evoke ‘the wisdom of the messy world.’”
