~ Fred Chappell, acclaimed writer
and Poet Laureate of North Carolina
"These are odd, beautiful poems by Mary Elizabeth Parker,
many story-telling, more with the logic of dreams or fairy tales."
~ author Robert Watson, professor emeritus,

often startling images...this is a splendid collection of poetry."
~ Eve Shelnutt, Professor of English,
