Review
"In an ode to women and Mother Earth, a mother addresses her daughter in a poem filled with images of nature as feminine.... The poem is an awakening, whispered as a shared secret between mother and daughter.... Prismatic figures dance, bend, and radiate color, reflecting natures bounty." --
