From Serious to Slapstick Poems, Like Life.

Janice Canerdy, the 2024 Mississippi Poet of the Year, has put together
a remarkable collection of poems. The poems touch upon various themes
such as poetry itself, nature and seasons, holidays, family, God, and the
state of Mississippi. Ms. Canerdy's exquisite command of different styles
and forms of poetry is evident throughout the collection. The poems are
a testament to why Ms. Canerdy was chosen as Poet of the Year. She
hopes her readers find the collection enjoyable and ends it with a wish
for laughter. I, too, hope you enjoy this collection."
