Leticia Austria, Poet The author employs a number of poetic tools to convey her thoughts, including wonderful imagery and simple yet effective phrasing. Harmony McGlothlin, Publisher & Editor Grace Notes Books and Editor-in Chief of Notes MagazineA gladness for life and family is countered by occasional poem lines of survived horror.
