    About this ebook

    This is a collection of poems woven together with the threads of belonging that bind us to one another and to our memories of the past. It is true that poetry does something that no other kind of writing can do. E.E. Cummings wrote that, Poetry is the algebra of the heart. For many of us, poems answer questions and solve mysteries in a distinct way. Kathys poems are no different; they reveal a soulful journey, a mapping out of her childhood and her life that many can surely relate to. She explores the concept of time and history and unearths the power that those who have come before us have on our lives. She draws on natures beauty and the simplicity of landscape and season to frame the images she offers to her reader.

    A little break from tradition; the reader will also find two forewords in this wonderful book of poetry! The first one is an in depth profound preview, the second the author has chosen to name it "Forward" a welcome parlour leading into the heartfelt Preface which tells the story behind this wonderful journey of both compassionate and heartwarming poetry!

      FOREWORD

      I met Kathy Snow about ten years ago. I was a new teacher, just starting out on my journey of helping students find their voice in writing. She was a hesitant but gifted English student; I remember establishing a rapport with her right away. Like many students who came to our school, Kathy had been through her share of ups and downs. She brought a maturity and wealth of life experience to her studies. I watched her gain more confidence and more awareness of how powerful and liberating language can be. And I watched as she found her footing in the world of writing. It is no secret that writing is powerful; it should be cathartic and it should act to heal. I think Kathy has clearly found this to be true. I was delighted to learn that Kathy had continued her journey as a writer well beyond where we started ten years ago. Many argue that the richest places to unearth the power of language can be found through memory. It is no surprise that Kathy has chosen to utilize the power of memory, family bonds and spirituality in her poetry.

      This is a collection of poems woven together with the threads of belonging that bind us to one another and
