Publications
Our own Cathy Clarke
has just had a book of her poetry published: Blue Nights,
Golden Days. Critic Myra Sklarew wrote, "So often when I read a new
book of poems, not enough real work has taken place, that magic of
transformation that literally alters reality as we know it, that
deepening of experience. In this work, just about every poem takes us on
that journey. It is so seldom that I really love a book of poetry, but I
do this one." The book is available at
www.finishinglinepress.com;
go to "New releases", or Amazon books,
www.amazon.com,
or you can contact Cathy at
saratogaclarkes@aol.com.
