Publisher's Synopsis
Family secrets surface like kelp and seashells emerging from the ocean's pounding surf in this word-beach collection of poems. Like watermarks on a wall, the author captures a breadth of subjects and moods through skillfully compressed phraseology. Mostly free verse, there is one engaging prose poem that ferrets out anecdotal humor in a situation that is not funny in and of itself. Her reflections on nature, life, death, relationships--the stuff of human experience--are sure to resonate with almost anyone.
