Some people flow in and out of our lives like water - rushing
through like a stream, surrounding us like a peaceful lake then
maybe travelling on to the sea. Some people are more like rocks:
sturdy, stable, reliable - always there. Everyone we meet informs
our sensibilities of the larger world around us, not allowing us to
become so absorbed that we forget ourselves in this mad-dash
through life. This collection of poems introduces the reader to
people who voluntarily leave us as well as those we lose without
their choice, much sooner than we would wish. The later poems
embrace the people who endure, those who stay with us through
sorrow and joy. I would like to thank all these people, for,
without them, this collection would not have been possible. I am
grateful to the following individuals and groups for encouraging
and supporting me in my writing life: my husband, Jim; my parents,
Buddy and Susan; Diane Frank and the Blue Light Press writing
workshop participants; Bill Brown; Terry Lucas; Helga Kidder; Karen
Slikker; Jeff Ferrell; Kristi Walker; David Austin; Connie
Landreth; my creative writing students; my Open Mic group;
Chattanooga Writers Guild; Knoxville Writers Guild; Colrain Poetry
Manuscript Conference participants; the Lesley University
community. Thank you for being my strong rocks or flowing water.
You are the sources of my inspiration.
