Poetry. In 1997, Joan Michelson's husband, Geoffrey Adkins, a fellow poet, died unexpectedly on his way to work. The poems in TOWARD THE HELIPAUSE are a response to this event and a dialogue between her poems and his. Progressing through grief and recovery, the narrative follows shifts in perspective up to the tenth anniversary of the death. The reading is heart wrenching and glorious, full of love and loss and a deep look at a deep love. Anyo...

OIn these lush sonnets, the wild and the cultivated often collide.

Poems are "momentary blissful connections" that may allow the reader to find, through the poem, a way to their own "blissful connection." The Shamanic journey of The Bells of Avalon, through Brian Bronson's poems, opens just this kind of connection. "Hopefully, by reading THE BELLS OF AVALON, you will become a part of t...

But the beauty of her language and the depth of her understanding make her subject palatable and carry the reader to that place of truth and beauty to which poetry aspires.
