Praise for The Water Poems
“With up to two thirds of the body made of water, one cannot help but resonate to this fine collection of strong and sensuous poems about water. The voices of the six poets interweave beautifully with the voices of lakes and rivers, creating one unified spirit. In these turbulent times, it is imperative to listen to both—the whispers and cries of our endangered waters, and these caring women, who remind us with their quiet word how truly sacred is this gift we all share. If you have ever loved a grand lake, a river, or a crooked little creek, then The Water Poems is a collection you will treasure.” —Sharon Auberle, Poet Laureate of Door County, WI
“Because of my line of work, I think every day about water and about protecting it. Still, looking through the eyes of the poets in this collection, I see many visions of water that I might not have thought about—or have perhaps forgotten—from the mythical to the specific, from childhood memories to death, and everything in between. Thank goodness that alongside the scientists we also have the poets. They remind us that, as we like to say at LNRP, ‘we all live on the water.'” —James Kettler, Exec. Dir. Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership

From Tori Grant Welhouse, in Portage Magazine:”The soul of our Great Lakes are in these poems, our rivers and lakes, our trickling streams. I highly recommend The Water Poems to any reader who has ever felt water’s affinity.”
