Except for this first book and the last one, all the books have been published in 2016. How lucky we are that great books are still coming, and great books are in the past to discover too!
I've had this anthology a long time, a marvelous gift from Margaret Simon in a poem swap. Nearly every day I read a poem or two from it, and it buoys me for the day, or rests me at the end of the day. I imagine that every woman of any age will love it, and that every man should read it if he wants to understand a bit more about women. Georgia Heard has entered one small quote at the beginning, something I think you'll all enjoy: "Words linked us in a ring of stars . . ." by Dorothy Livery's poem "Epiphany", also included in the book. Georgia has divided the book's poems into sections, Love, Motherhood, Work, Family & Friends, and Balance. Within those sections are sometimes sub-sections. You can take a section a a time, open the book at will, browse and savor.
