The free verse within e. smith sleigh's Eternal Nature series describes with candor, and wit, her visual encounters in the external and internal landscapes. Sleigh assigns her interpretations to objects and emotions in nature and life. The reader journeys with her on an adventure across the literal and psychic countryside. Through the dawns and dusks of the seasons of life and love, her poems move the reader toward endings that envelope the reader in surprise. ..".sleigh's consistent use of nature as a point of entry into the larger picture of humanity's conjectures about existance allows the reader to deeply identify with her words and her poetic images. Sleigh elegantly unifies her queries and accounts about life and love within the seasons of nature and the rhythm of the day and night. In doing so her collections evoke times of the day and seasons of parched or drenched landscapes, in the reader. Her poetry renders words into concentrated gems of private concepts and experiences which shine from each page of her marvelous, thought-provoking, and entertaining work." --Lyn Plihal Writer Reviewer of Fiction and Poetry More information about e. smith sleigh's latest poetry endeavors can be found at her website. http: //esmithsleigh.weebly.com/ .
