Soundings

These poems sing about Alana Shermans fundamental passions
love, family, domesticity and the small messages of loss and mortality that confront us everydaywith honesty of vision and remarkable clarity of style. Her forte is careful meditation on events and experience. The eye, ear and mind energize a voice that plumbs the ordinary to present us with wonders.
I love the quiet beauty and sensuous imagery of Alana Shermans poems. They are delightful and, in their own graceful way reassuring. Lorraine DeGennaro
With intense vitality, great compassion and exceptional
attention to design, the poems in Soundings deal with
the eternal verities of life. Carrying the reader straight to
the heart of their matter, these are poems born out of the
experience of the whole person. Shermans work is intelligent
and satisfying. Martin Anderson
