Extraordinary, eloquent, witty.Though no longer with us, these two poets, Lorraine L. Wilson and Valerie J. Moody, left an enduring gift to rouse the spirit and tickle the heart. In "Post Election," Wilson, foresees her own death, and reminds us what matters most in life: "i leave you the rights to a walk through the field with my dog, a nap with my three cats, my rocking horse, my conga drum, my flip flops..." In "Rescue," Moody delights us with charming flights of fancy: "If you were wrapped up in snakes by people speaking in tongues, I would buy a mongoose and rescue you..." Open this chapbook to enjoy and preserve the legacy of two outstanding Adirondack writers.
