With cadenced language that alternately screams, murmurs and sings, Carla Martin-Wood has shaped a most remarkable cosmos. Therein, we are not only asked to confront the darkest aspects of ourselves, but also to rejoice in the wider creation that she has set before us. Brenda Levy Tate, author of Cleansing (Rising Tide Press, 2005) and Beeline (Lopside Press, 2007)

Karen Kelsay's chapbook, In Spite of Her, is a delicate journey into recollections of the past and relationships experienced by the poet. Her poems are picturesque where her appreciation of nature is immediately realized. We also witness the fragility of life and love.
