-David Radavich, author of America Bound and The Countries We Live In
In Ribbon Without End, Dorothy Baird invites her readers inside the pages of a family album, combining legend and legacy with honesty and tenderness. Her confident skills, rich with image and emotional insight, unwind a ribbon of connection through five generations. Baird deftly underpins her concept of familial roots with the natural roots of trees and plants that intertwine in the soil to provide endurance and stability. Like her charming poem, Handing Down, in which a mother can fasten my son to the past with buttons, Baird's satisfying collection fastens us to the complexities of human connection.
-Jo Ann Steger Hoffman, author of Angels Wear Black
Ribbon Without End is a tour de force of the universal themes of longing, hope, and love expressed in the particular stories of Dorothy Baird's family photographs. These finely crafted poems illuminate a wide swath of American history, stretching from the first European settlers through the Civil War and down to the modern era. The beauty and potency of these poems will inspire reflection upon one's own history and identity. I will carry Baird's words with me wherever I go.
-Andrew Taylor-Troutman, author of Gently Between the Words: Essays and Poems
