Lee Anne McIlroy
is like a poet Venus, emerging from the oyster shell of her lovely verses to entrance us with a spell-like lyricism that reminds one of the work of Robert Frost, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Mary Oliver. To read these poems is to be reminded of the nourishing power of art, and to realize we are in the company of an original poetic voice. -Kareem Tayyar, Author of "Magic Carpet Poems" (Tebot Bach) and "In the Footsteps of the Silver King" (Spout Hill Press)
