M.Ann Reed’s collection of poems does indeed “breathe soul-life into words, words into musical patterns, musical patterns into images, all literary features into meaning.”   From the first poem, ‘Dreams of making oxygen’, where the image of the child ‘who is not where she belongs,’ through my favorite, Rumi’s guesthouse, Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, where, within rubble and destruction, imagination can find ‘a few hinges’ for ‘Wings’, to the final poem, Night Persephone’s choice, where Icarus might become the figure who teaches us to accept our creative gifts that give us life, we are able to pause and take a deep breath to experience the wonder of making oxygen as an act of soul making.
