In this posthumous collection of poetry and writings, Dona Carol Bartoli leads us from poem to poem and we receive the fruit of a rich intellectual life. What you will experience in the ensuing pages is a rare gift that we did not know even existed. We knew that she wrote poems but had no idea of the output until it blossomed all around us in the days after her passing. She lived, loved, and created a world filled with beautiful things with an endless intensity. Encompassing more than sixty years of her life, these works reveal the elaborate and evolving music of her soul.
