Tucson, AZ (OPENPRESS) Carol Smallwood's collection of poems embraces the varied realms of our world, beginning with reflections on nature before moving into femininity, society, and science, and ultimately considering mortality.
"Carol Smallwood offers a jewel-chest of small poems, sparkling with observation, wisdom and maturity. Each is so personal that one might imagine her wearing it as an adornment, but reaches into consciousness so as to enrich the experience of the reader. She touches nature gently, as in 'A Spider in January' and shares herself freely and colorfully. The collection is a prize and a delight." —Patsy Anne Bickerstaff
"Carol Smallwood blends history and nature with the personal and domestic in powerful poems that are both current and timeless." —Kate Hopper, Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers; editor, Literary Mama
"I especially appreciate her attention to the things of the world, their physical being, as well as their poignancy." —Ellen Bass, Pushcart Prize Winner
