A quote from a dear friend: aI have known and cherished this spectacular, gorgeous, quite extraordinary woman for the last twelve years. She contributes so much of her light, generosity and genuine love to everyone she meetsano one is a stranger to her. I believe everyone and anyone can and will benefit from knowing her, knowing about her, and reading her exquisitely beautiful poetry. She spent her first seventeen years at the torture level of abuse. Now, thirty-seven years later, even as she lives daily (with some humor, even) with the resultant psychological difficulties, she is an internationally published, award-winning poet. New Mexico, known as aThe Land of Enchantment, a is brought to vivid life in this book of remarkable poetry. Many poets have written of New Mexico, but not like thisanot even close! I think she is the Georgia OaKeefe of New Mexico poets.a Bill Pearman, The Taos News
