About the Book

"What is so evident in Laura Vookles is the ring of the 'quiet truth.' What would be drums and trumpets in the hands of other poets becomes the symphony of the understated in her hands. I do not mean that you will find soft-strings sugaring-over sharp edges ofgrief; quite the opposite. In her works grief is met in a quiet room. The discussion is civil. The sound you hear is your heart breaking for her. There are not harsh lights in LV's work. Still, her words do not give anything any place to hide."-Ryk McIntyre, poet, dad, Cantab Lounge co-host, and self-appointed Unitarian pope.

"This is a highly recommended collection any reader cannot fail to be moved by. For those of us who've tried to make ourselves heard through the barrier of death, reach someone who is gone, these poems will especially resonate."-Linda Lerner, author of 12 chapbooks including City Woman (March Street Press, 2006) and Living In Dangerous Times (Presa Press, 2007)
About the Author: Native of Memphis, Tennessee, Laura Vookles (LV) writes memoir - poetry and prose - about her Southern roots, motherhood, a husband's death, and middle-aged romance. She has featured at venues from New York to Boston and south to Hernando, Mississippi. In 2007 LV was on the first White Plains Library Slam team, published her debut collection, John on the Chrysler: Poems of Love and Grief, and was twice nominated for the 2008 Pushcart Prize. Since then, she has authored her second chapbook, Love Letters to My Mostly Ordinary Life, competed nationally in two Women of the World Poetry Slams, and represented White Plains again at the 2011 and 2012 National Poetry Slams. A full-time mother and museum curator, she is a writer on the job as well as from the heart.
