Cynthia Storrs‘ Garden Clippings presents a meaningful stroll through life seen through the wonders of nature. Her rich imagery creates a world of deep emotion that springs from the grandeur of the Colorado mountains to the simple pleasures found in her small Tennessee garden. In a vibrant painting of words, new life emerges in January flowers and faith endures through the oppressive slog of August. Garden Clippings uncovers loving memories of family, hope for better days to come, and appreciation for the simple joy found in a summer dandelion.

–Cathy Hollister, author of Seasoned Women: A Collection of Poems.

I often get upset while reading Cynthia’s work. “Dang! Why couldn’t I have written that line?” I’ll lament. She is masterful in the art of understatement and the precise use of the language of color.

–Ron Truax, poet, published in Atlas Poetica, Colorado Life, Ribbons, and others.

The beautiful, bountiful garden of Cynthia Storrs‘ Garden Clippings delights and nourishes. These finely crafted poems, vibrant and colorful, have been tended by a loving caretaker. I know you will enjoy spending time with Garden Clippings as much as I do.

–Aaron Anstett, inaugural Pikes Peak Poet Laureate and author of What Now and other poetry collections.

Cynthia Storrs‘ poems detail the nature, gardens, and greenery around her, describing in vibrant language and colors the transitions, losses, and faith which fill her world. Using fresh images and experimenting with form and playful rhyme, blossoms become crowns, hillsides transform to vegetables, dying tulips reform into withering hands, while family and pets puddle under Tennessee’s relentless summer heat. Storrs employs the lens of nature to bring focus on the tangles of life which encompass us all, and plants in her readers a hope for next year’s harvest. #poetry#nature#life
