"Connors is describing an orb spider's web, ... an apt emblem for this collection of poems about being mortal in a mortal world.Finely woven, out in the open, Ginny Lowe Connors' poems catch the momentary light and shadow of transformations and survivals, sorrows and healings." -Margaret Gibson, Connecticut Poet Laureate Emerita, author of The Glass Globe "A quality of attentive wonder charges and characterizes these beautifully crafted, thought-provoking poems....Here is the earnest and candid work of a seasoned poet." -Aaron Caycedo-Kimura, Author of Common Grace
