With quiet surety, Naomi Myles cultivates a contemplative wordscape allowing that " . . . some roots be hidden and some exposed." And in this crafted world we are asked to think of windows framing the past, some inhabitants in sharp focus, others, "lights that flicker and go out."-Julie Suk "Naomi Myles creates on aura of possibility in PAINTING TREES . Reading her poems is like taking a familiar road to sources where music, dance, words-art-really matter."-Shelby Stephenson
