“Judy DiGregorio’s new book is like a spring flower opening. Careful and boisterous at the same time, these poems and essays are gems about life and living. Without Judy, we’re too blockheaded to see and understand. Judy does though, and as a result we get to be amused, amazed and pleased as she provides insight to things we sometimes don’t see. I feel good reading her work and highly recommend it. I think you will feel the same way, too. ”
