Ms. Sophocles is a teacher of language arts, a mother, a quilter, and with this collection emerges as a powerful new voice of poetic expression. She wrote this collection over a ten-year period for her personal solace in order to make sense of her life’s tragedies and to embrace her life’s gifts. In so doing she has crafted a collection which we believe will offer comfort as well as inspiration to the reader.
A poem from her collection, Uneven Edges:
Lightning from Thunder
Because sound is slower
we separate lightning from thunder
as if they were separate events
like we separate everything else
tea leaves from water
death from life
people from nature and one another
as though having different forms
gives us license to control
or even worse, not care
as if we didn’t share
the same atoms in rearranged patterns
