Terri Erickson's new collection of poetry, Telling Tales of Dusk, is now available for pre-ordering. The gorgeous cover painting was done by her uncle, NC artist Stephen White, especially for Telling Tales of Dusk and beautifully photographed by Dan Rossi. Editors Judy Lowe and Scott Owens were kind enough to write the following about the book:
In her poems, Terri Kirby Erickson sketches vivid and appealing word pictures that lodge in the reader's mind. I rarely see the wildflower Queen Anne's lace in a field without remembering how she contrasts the plant's delicate beauty with its common surroundings. It "dandies up a ditch," she concludes. So true - and thinking about it that way makes me smile. Judy Lowe, The Christian Science Monitor
Whether writing about butter mints, the daisy chain of a group of daughters locked arm in arm, or a man burying his dead wife, Terri Kirby Erickson's poems have the characteristics we all strive for in our poetry. These lyrical narratives are sensuous, tender, evocative, and familiar, bringing to life things we've all noticed but lacked the wisdom to put into words. Scott Owens, editor, The Wild Goose Poetry Review
