Resonance by Gwendolyn Zimmerman (2018)


Resonance

(c) 2018

I don't recall the exact time of the catastrophic fire that destroyed the building, and therefore the operation, of FootHills Publishing but I know it happened and that was a sad moment not only for Michael Czarnecki (the publisher) but for everyone associated with that small press. 

I got to meet with Michael a number of years ago when he ventured into the Berks County, PA poetry community due to publishing Craig Czury, who at the time was an important link between the fledgling Berks Bards poetry organization and the Berks Arts Council. [I know, sorry, structural minutiae dealing not directly with the poetry here or the poetess but she mentioned both men on the back cover, so....] 

I have heard that Michael has phoenix'd out of his disaster and have given FootHills new life. 

This collection is lovely, btw.
