An excerpt from the Introduction written by Zayra Yves:
San Francisco, California 2007
“In this passionate collection of poetry Nicolette van der Walt shares with her readers the intimacy of her very marrow. Nicolette is a woman of many gifts and strengths but of all those wonders, what stands out most is her grace. She is truly as graceful as a flower, as sensuous as a dancer and as passionate as the fire; she is what she writes. The poet and the poem are one as they dance together on the page from the seed of what is intensely personal and private to the core of all humanity burning with it the powerful yearning for union with the beloved. The rapture of her poetry will light a candle of beauty in your soul and open your heart to burn beyond the flame.” – Zayra Yves
The title, fire lily, refers to a wildflower, native to South Africa, which only blooms after a fire and rises from the soil in a dance of red bells – proof, that love, and only love, can change a landscape of ashes into a garden.
Back cover reviews are by Wanda Brayton (Night Hope), Marc Creamore, Brian Douthit and Joe Faybish (mimiagatha) – all of them accomplished and published poets (see author’s notes). A big thank you Zayra, Wanda, Marc, Joe, & Brian for sharing their talent and their hearts with me, and to every one of you here who has been so supportive of me and my poetry through the years! And of course, also to the one: the fire, the flame.

NOTES FROM THE ABANDONED ORCHARD OF THE MOON
"Marc Creamore sees the city/planet/universe through the wise eyes of an innocent child. He shifts the vagaries of modern existence through a mind that is open to unfortunate reality, yet able to enliven the seemingly barren future with shades of hope. Eastern philosophy seems to enwrap his visage, his voice, with the calm of an elder and the wonder of a child."
- from the Forward by Rob Ganson,
author of Float Like A Butterfly, Sing Like A Tree
"Marc Creamore's truth becomes your own the moment you read his words and feel his beauty, his depth of observation, his magnitude of wonder, his painful raging at the damage Mankind has done to this world and to the people that breathe upon its shores. His poetry will enlighten you, educate you, enthrall you with its memorable and majestic messages..."
- Wanda Lea Brayton,
author of Swanee Sighs

Blurbs for Glass Skin - Janet Richards
This collection provides a carefully crafted balance between life experience and literature.
Janet Richards gives us the pulse of days and seasons, the give and take of intimacy, and the bond of mother and child. These poems recognize and celebrate the subtle, organic signals of our daily lives.
R.D. Roy, Panegyric Press
"Dragonfly nymphs stir in ever-warming water …"
Janet's observations glean, as though perched on top a tripod draped in a velvet cloak.
Jennifer Londry
Janet's poetry is quietly mesmerizing. You are lured in by her descriptions of the every day, and stay for the often bittersweet tang at the end. At once universal and extremely personal, they swirl
around in your mind long after the first reading is over.
Jennifer May,
Belleville Branch, Ontario Poetry Society
Janet Richards' book is a journey of imagery connected to the Bay of Quinte region; it also opens the reader's eyes to all of life's daily adventures. The sound of the poet's voice is often in a language that surprises. Glass Skin $B(! (B a great addition to the Quinte literary landscape. Enjoy.

Adding your comment:
Thanks hon. 
Indeed, we dwell among some of the most brilliant writers, right here at AP. I am the proud owner of most of these books (& will eventually have them all, as finances permit). I even helped edit a few of them, much to my honor. They are all very worthy reads for anyone who loves the language. Thank you, LadyLavender. 
Nuhhh uhhh...YOU are.
