Publisher's Synopsis
Inexhaustible Offering brings luminous joy and reflection to those who have walked the paths of Lincoln Park. The poems provide illumination as well for those who have never watched the waves of Lake Michigan nor seen the shimmering skyscrapers of Chicago.
Dick Simpson, Former Alderman; The Good Fight: Life Lessons from a Chicago ProgressiveIn her quietly moving poems, Carolyn Kelley Williams celebrates nuances of Lake Michigan with insight and gratitude. Her poems remind us to bless our home with song. To look, and look again, and give ourselves over to the mystery of familiar nature. Each offering arises from the lake and from the poet in a lyric dance, with readers the lucky recipients.
Amy Minato, Hermit ThrushThe author's love affair with nature and beauty pour from every finely crafted line. Her senses drink in each detail, sharing what the natural world is straining to tell us if we would but open to listen.
Lisa Paulson, Voices from a Sacred Land: Images and EvocationsThis outpouring of prayer-poems comes to us in a dark time, medicine for what ails us.
Jean Feraca, Distinguished Broadcaster Emerita, Wisconsin Public RadioThis book, from a seasoned poet, stirs deep, nourishes us. Turn the pages. Take your time. Don't miss this experience.
Zoe Keithley, Of Fire Of Water Of Stone: Jophile's StoryA journey through the seasons is exquisitely revealed in this lovely confluence of poetry and paintings.
Mary Ann Johnson, President, Chicago Women's History Center
