First Ice
by Mary Wood
A collection of poems by Eastern Shore poet, Mary Wood.
"Mary Wood does not struggle with life’s process. The poems in this collection, most of which were written in the last ten years, are about a complete acceptance of life as it is. And though her poetry addresses time’s inevitable effects, hers is not a sullen art.
These are, in fact, brave and inspiring poems. They may give you courage and comfort and perhaps a lingering sense of peace. On these pages you will get a glimpse into an ordered mind, yet one infused with deep humility and respect.
Mary Wood’s poems are accessible and develop with an ease that belies the difficulty of her craft. Watch for how she positions her subjects in time, holding them gently as she explores the fleeting moment."
From the Foreword by Kelly Castro.

The Philospher's Wife
by Emily Vogel
“From my first encounter with them I have been struck by the ferocity of clarity and understatement with which Vogel shapes and controls and, in fact, intensifies the impact of these splendidly constructed poems. They bring to mind Berryman’s enigmatically simple phrase, “the freedom of the poet.”I’m startled again and again by their authenticity, distinctiveness of voice, and the authority of tone, the dark fun, the sexiness and delightful adventurousness they display. One hardly knows what to expect next in one of her poems, but can be sure it will be both startling and, somehow, symmetrically inevitable. It is so heartening to know there is one more serious young poet out there—there are so very few.”
~Franz Wright, 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry
