When the Sap Rises

I love the title of Glenda Barrett's chapbook now available from Finishing Line Press, P.O. Box 1626, Georgetown KY 40324 or www.finishinglinepress.com. I've just returned from out of town and found the announcement of her publication in my mail.

The cover is perfect for Glenda's poetry book. The rustic cabin set against a mountain sunset was painted by the poet. Glenda Barrett writes poetry the same way she lives -- simply, quietly and with deep contemplation and compassion.

She and I began with NCWN West about the same time when we met in one of Nancy Simpson's classes. Glenda is a regular member of the Poetry Critique group sponsored by Netwest.
If you enjoy accessible poetry that celebrates life with all its sorrows and joys, you will want to read When the Sap Rises. I can't wait to read my copy.
