If this was an art exhibit, it would have been called a
retrospective. The poems are culled from some seventy years of the
author's writing about everyday life and world events. Their
subjects include celebrating holidays, moving, the weather, trees,
visiting museums and other places. They are a celebration of the
enjoyment of life and the delights of living in harmony with
nature. In this collection, Muth shows readers that there are no
boundaries in the field of imagination. Marcia Muth is a writer and
an American folk artist. Even though she is internationally
recognized as an artist-her paintings are in the permanent
collections of several museums and in many private
collections-poetry has been her way of recording her life
experiences since she was a child. "Poetry has served me well as a
way to respond to people, places and events in the world. It is my
second language," she says. She was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana in
1919 and grew up in Indiana and western New York State. She
received degrees from the University of Michigan and has lived in
Santa Fe, New Mexico since 1966. She is also the author of "A World
Set Apart, Memory Paintings;" "Writing and Selling Poetry, Fiction,
Articles, Plays & Local History;" "How to Paint and Sell Your
Art;" "Indian Pottery of the Southwest;" Kachinas, A Selected
Bibliography;" "Ma Frump's Cultural Guide to Plastic Gardening"
which won a first place award in the 2008 New Mexico Book Awards;
"Post Card Views and Other Souvenirs, Poems;" "Thin Ice and Other
Poems;" "Sticks and Stones and Other Poems;" and "Words and Images,
Poems," all from Sunstone Press. Her biography, "Left Early,
Arrived Late," by Teddy Jones, also from Sunstone Press, was
published in 2008. In 2006, she was named a Santa Fe Living
Treasure in recognition of her many accomplishments.
