This is a book to be read cover to cover...the poems progress that way, weaving in and out of personal experience to Edgewater, (both lake and metaphor), and back to personal experience again. And what experience!!! That of a sensitivity most deeply in touch with the world and the heart. A sensitivity that accepts life's hard places and embraces its wonderments. An unflinching sensuality. Always brave, always loving, these poems should be taken on a walk, or read in a forest, or on a beach or on a plane. You should read them and read them again (I have), because they say what you have always wanted to say and couldn't.
