from Casey Shay Press:  Uncommon Clay: A Collection of Poems about a Woman's Ties to the Earth, Spirit and to Her People.

 

Jay Parini says of Uncommon Clay:

"This is a poet with a deep sense 

of not only nature but spirit....she brings rich native tradition into play here, 

in language that is strict and pure...I hear a profound

religious note in these poems that moves beyond dogma into a kind 

of universal religion, with religion as a kind of re-legio, in the

root sense of that word: a linking back to an earlier time, a 

world of pure nature...this poet understand the relationship -- almost an occult 

relationship -- between word and thing. The poetry rises to a

 high level, and this level is sustained through the collection."

----Jay Parinia, poet, novelist, and critic who teaches at Middlebury College 

in Vermont. [His numerous books include The Art of Subtraction: New and Selected 

Poems, The Last Station, and Robert Frost: A Life.]
