Disturbing the Dust

Peggy Seelys poetry demands our attention never more so than in her powerful book Disturbing the Dust where she takes us on a journey of a life fully lived. Her deep sense of caring is displayed in Parkland; she smells the spilled blood of gunned-down students rendering assurance that she will stand with students who will stand free... In her poem There Came a Day she looks at the sexism that has been part of the American culture for far too long defining women as less than they are. Enough enough Peggy says in a voice dripping with outrage at the promise of workplace advancement for special favors. Anger in some poems yes; also rebellion finally catharsis. If poetry were a taxi Id ride with Peggy Seely every time. Leonard Greco journalist & author
