In this charming collection of poems, Sarah Voss captures the persistence of memory and joy and heartache growing old in this brave new world of technology. - Ruth Glick , prolific, award-winning and best-selling author of romance, mystery, suspense, young adult and children's books, healthy cookbooks, and dozens of romance novels, many of the latter under the pen name Rebecca York. In Poems from the Gravel Road , Sarah Voss offers works which move from the crafty innocence of childhood to the maturity of marriage, motherhood, and aging. The poems range from sestina to free verse and from engaging amusement to tender sadness. She tells the reader that her "new flowers always overflow / my cup with reliability and surprise," and the people in her poems overflow in the same way. She traces the passage of time, love, and life with sensitivity, especially in the complex tensions of affection and frustration in dealing with an aging parent. These poems display determined courage and strength when facing disappointment and delight-with traces of melancholy, but no despair or self-pity. What more can we ask of poetry? - Michael Skau , emeritus Professor, Department of English at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Skau was the 2013 winner of the William Kloefkorn Award for Excellence in Poetry. His poetry publications include Me & God (Wayne State College Press, 2014) and chapbooks After the Bomb (2017) and Old Poets (2018), both published by WordTech Editions. He is founder and host of the Imaginary Gardens Reading Series.
