“There’s a fullness of language in Sheryl Slocum’s poems, a fullness deeply rooted in wisdom and a loving commitment to life—even when life brings what’s hard to accept. Traversing the uneven terrain of nature, the human heart, and beyond, these poems offer up, time and again, profound ideas, images, or insights that amply testify to the steady course and living excellence of Slocum’s art.”
