Received this feedback from the head editor of Bandersnatch Books on a collection of my poetry: "I found myself transfixed by the tone and pace of Songs from the Stillness—by the very stillness these poems evoke. The daily nature of the entries became an anchor, drawing me forward through the collection and holding me in the rhythm of a steady current." Carolyn Clare Givens, CEO of Bandersnatch Books
