Three women, who work together as poets, present a collection of their work. These poems are insightful, frank, and humorous.  "'Traveling through this collection is like having three sisters, three daughters, three mothers whispering their most treasured secrets to you. You emerge at the end softer, wiser and replete with hope.' -- David Shumate, author of High Water Mark and The Floating Bridge."  “'Welcome to a delicious, heady blend of music and personal experience.  Throughout, the lines are luxurious and yet disciplined, like that well-made bed of ear and eye that Auden recommended to us.  Never has it been so easy to love poetry, to enter the poem and explore its spacious rooms, to take in complex blends of joys and losses.  Sensory notes are everywhere packed into these poems––our poems now, as the reader takes them in. It's heartening to remind ourselves that the company of women poets is thriving, that these embodied voices are generous, elegant, and fierce.' -- Marilyn Kallet, Director, Creative Writing Program, University of Tennessee, author of The Love That Moves Me."  “'It’s fate, these three, spinning insightful insights—lyrical narratives—from the holy cloth, pricking at the threads of time. Company of Women is the company that you keep, that keeps you coming, that keeps you company. These poems tailor and weave. They clew, and they clue. They dart, and they skirt. They hem, and they awe.' -- Michael Martone author of Michael Martone and Four for a Quarter."
