“—each page presents something of value; a line worth underlining, a thought worth contemplating.
–Kirkus Reviews
“WHEN FLOWERS SING is a symphonic collection of poems, an opera of the soul.
I felt as if I were falling into its resplendency. I urge everyone to read it. Cast this book out to others to create a new flowering earth.”
–Debra Magpie Earling, author of The Lost Journals of Sacajewea and Perma Red
EVERYDAY MERMAID is a poetic, artistic deep dive into the ordinary. Colors, waves, ripples of sound in words and meaning. Experiences day-to-day visceral contact with nature and the body. Celebrates the feminine and kinship with all life.
