SCARLET RAIN BOOTS by Mary Salisbury

$14.99

 

Mary Salisbury delivers striking imagery in distinctive and vulnerable poems in her new collection SCARLET RAIN BOOTS. The poet allows us to embrace life’s fears and losses: “Field grass blowing, / deer in bouncing flight, / white tails bobbing, / coyote calling at night. / You did your best. / It could have gone / the other way.” This is an impressive book that will move the reader.
