Eschewing grandiloquence, Edstrom's poems take a pensive stance towards the immediate, the 'ordinary, ' while quietly rooted in the rhythms of the natural world. A master of simplicity, her prosody carries a balanced, musical, clear stream of language with understated authority. 'Poetry pinned me to bliss, ' sums up the poet, in full possession of her craft.
-Lorraine Healy, author of Mostly Luck (MoonPath Press)
In The Language of Tides, Lois Parker Edstrom has gathered over a decade of everyday poems, seasonal poems, ekphrastic poems, poems set in the real light of small-town life, and more. And most every one joyfully intimates how ordinary moments, which are also our moments, belong to the tide in which our particular forms rise and fall. Edstrom poses the poet's wager-experience your timelessness for the price of embracing your fleetingness, as do, she suggests, the autumn leaves 'skittering along the road like brown-robed monks.'
-Jed Myers, author of The Marriage of Space and Time (MoonPath Press)
