Soldier Pond: a Memoir in Poetry Deann Louise Daigle

This collection of poetry is art in the truest sense of the word, a path through the hidden forest of the creator's innermost world -- sometimes winding through dark shadow, sometimes stepping into unexpected sunlight, but always fearlessly staying true to reality. DeAnn Daigle is a poet of the highest caliber. -- Marta Szabo, author of The Guru Looked Good DeAnn Daigle may possess the soul of a New Yorker, but she writes with the voice of a New Englander. Soldier Pond stands firmly within the tradition of Thoreau and Dickinson and Frost. Which is not to say that the writing is derivative; on the contrary, it speaks itself in a startlingly fresh voice for the new century. Like the voices of its literary forebearers, it is a voice that comes from a deep place and challenges hearers to become their better selves. --J. S. Pecorella, poet and liturgical dramatist
