Sheltered and Before The Contagious

Sheltered and Before The Contagious...how far the imagination can run away from homeinto the unknown into becoming so lost you can trade places...Cari Griffos second book of poetry is a collection of poems she sent to family and friends during the pandemic while sheltered. With a compassionate compass she explores the meaning of home while unearthing love no matter how well hidden. The second section spans the past couple of decades with work she performed to live audiences often in gritty caws caw cawing a language which both releases us to hear our own breath and conjoins us to listen.Dearest Cari you have carried us to the finish line. Like E.E. Cummings you have carried our hearts in your heart. We the people of Planet Adobe Brick say thank you! Thanks for all the poems past and poems to come.
