Reviews

[Joan Colby · Rating 5 out of 5]

A collection of beautiful and inspirational poems. Those by Jane Hirshfield struck me most,especially the marvelous poem"In the Net of Blue and Gold", but the writers and poetry represented produced a wonderful volume,one that I'll certainly read again and again.
