"There is no store-bought redemption pasted to the ends of these poems, but neither will you find hopelessness, self-pity, a turning away from the world. What you will find at the core of all these poems is the timeless North Carolinian's beneficent but ungilded witnessing." - From the Introduction by Ron Powers, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, co-author of True Compass and Flags of Our Fathers

Many of the poems will forever be committed to memory and quoted through time.as their meanings are eternal and beautiful. --Mark Houston, M.D., What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypertension Terri Erickson has made a marvel in these poems, a gift of connection that is rich, deep and wide. She expresses the essence of things both ordinary and remarkable in ways that invite the rest of us to experience our own lives more fully and deeply.
