Statements Made in Passing by Kathleen Serley is a collection of forty poems anchored by family and a sense of place. The poet invites you into her garden to share her appreciation for the natural world, reflects on the way family nurtures, and widens her lens to show broader connections. She writes about melons and monarchs, apples and acorns and about woodland walks always with an eye to how these observations connect us to family and expand our world view.
