Poems of the Day

"This slim volume of thirty-one personal observations (mostly about ordinary domestic issues like marriage and motherhood) brings with it a welcome dose of skill and panache that makes it more than meditation. Walker's writing is sometimes lyrical, sometimes surprising (as when she has to remind herself that she loves the baby, and no, she's not really going to throw him out the window), sometimes simply the passionate love letter to her family at its core." 

-Ellyn Bache, award-winning author of nine novels including Safe Passage and winner of the Willa Cather Fiction Prize 

"Inspirations about Love and Mothering, Divine and Otherwise. A word bath of imagery evoking worshipful submersion in Nature, simple and profound. To the question, 'Where do we come from?' she answers, 'I wish you waves crashing out loud the sound of Peace.' A worthy collection."

 -Beth Larson Sherk, teacher, playwright, and novelist; author of The River's Bend
