Neile Graham is a master of words and imagery, and she creates a series of touching, thoughtful, and lovely poems in this book. Not all of them are comfortable, but all are compelling. Historical themes and mythical elements combine with a true understanding of the human experience to form a series of thought-provoking poems. Graham's imagery is beautiful, and her subjects, from grave markers to historical events, are well-chosen and masterfully woven. I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy history, fantasy, and the glory of the written word.
