This excellent and deeply personal collection weaves aspects of the natural world, memory, place, and time to evoke a sense of love and loss."- Kate Brandes, author of The Promise of Pierson's Orchard"According to the Sufi Proverb, "If words come from the heart, they will enter the heart. If they come from the tongue, they will not pass beyond the ears." Anna Kodama's wise words come directly from her generous heart. Whether Anna is telling a story or sharing a lyric moment, her poems move us in a way that we will not soon forget. Her skillful use of vivid details allows us to fully enter her world. Anna is both a poet and a painter and her exquisite use of color and attention to nature's smallest details, as well as her sensitivity to the largest issues of life and death, bring her poetry alive in the most moving way."- Angie Minkin, author of Balm for the LivingAbout the AuthorAnna Kodama writes and paints in eastern Pennsylvania, a few miles from the Delaware River.
