LIke Light: 25 Years of Poetry & Prose by Bright Hill Poets & Writers, edited by Bertha Rogers. Rogers, who created the readings program at Bright Hill, a beautiful Catskill mountain haven for literature and art, has collected work by the writers she has invited to read at Bright Hill over the past twenty-five years. The book is no less than a compendium of poetry and short prose of those writers from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe who have come to the Western Catskills to share their work at The Bright Hill Press & Literary Center. It is filled - nearly 500 pages - with fine writing and is a volume for the reader's shelf to be returned to again and again. Among others, the volume includes the work of Cheryl Boyce-Taylor, Esther Cohen, Breena Clarke, Cheryl Clarke, Lisa Wujnovich, Ginnah Howard.

Bertha Rogers isn't any ordinary Editor. She is a dynamic writer and artist with activist spirit. Another book that needs to be used in educational settings.
