This book is more than just one poem after another. Using photographs and pictures, Kerri ties them to the themes of her poems. Through her poetry, Kerri gives readers a glimpse into her life and encourages others to “fly” and follow their dreams.
Susan Mahoney, Kewanna Indiana –
Kerri’s poetry uses imagery that is vivid and on the mark. The reader gets a taste of some of the sights, sounds and feeling of living in a big city. There’s a hint of loneliness, but not a drop of pity. Kerri’s lines are spare and show a quiet strength as she points to simple pleasures, like the sunshine glimpsed in a rain puddle, that make life sweet.

The poems in Kerri Davidson’s book ‘How to Fly’ follow her theme of spreading your wings. She expresses her emotions so well, and I have several favorites among the poems. I highly recommend this book!
