Welcome and thank you for joining Lorelie and me in savoring and appreciating another poem from Cathy Ross.
Quoting from the back cover of WHAT THE TULIPS SAID: Cathy’s poems are ” . . . playful and poignant, with themes of loss and renewal . . . and reveal the unexpected layers within an ordinary life.”
Author Donald Kemp wrote of Cathy’s poetry. “Cathy Ross’s poems achieve balance between reflections on the natural world, personal loss, love, mortality, and family life, all artfully stitched together and crafted. . . . I sat a long while after finishing her book, reluctant to break its spell.”

Cathy’s poems are always a welcome addition to the NESTER, and FROG SONGS continues the NESTER’S emphasis on the significance and the beauty of the earth. In several of Cathy’s poems, the poet begins with a description of nature and then turns to a personal response to what she observes. The observation and contemplation of nature connects and adds meaning to the poet’s life!
