PELTED BY FLOWERS
Published by CavanKerry Press, April, 2021. Selected as a “Must Read” for 2022 by the Massachusetts Center for the Book.
This book is a lovely sweep through an existence often “pelted by flowers,” and finally achieving a readiness for the letting go, a well-earned acceptance, in her final contemplation, of what comes next: the becoming “as dust drifting on a solar wind.” As I put down the book, I experience a sigh of contentment, as if I, too, have just been pelted by flowers. (Laura Foley, poet)
