As I sit in Covid self-quarantine, Judith Heilizer’s quiet, honest exploration of nature and life moves me beyond my window frame to the world outside. She writes, “Spirit, please send me memory of the dragonfly’s wings shimmering in the sunlight.” Her words bring hope and beauty to this dark winter.

This poet writes with a probing eye and open heart that will leave you in awe. Many of these poems need to be read and re-read, not because of complexity, but because of beauty. There are treasures to be found in each line.

This amazing poet marries humanity’s sins of the past, repeated in the present, with an insightful, optimistic, and loving heart. Your eyes read the words, but your soul hears them, and your heart feels them.
