The Rows Between

The simple beauty of this first collection by Christine Peasley is its accessibility. Each poem weaves a spell that is everyday in nature and breathtaking in depth. <br><I>The Rows Between</I> is a radiant adventure as Peasley shows us her world of mental illness relationships community and love. She offers a personal outlook that will register with many readers and resonate with many more. Her first fifty years have led to a maturity that looks back with humor and joy. Peasley knows the ups and downs life presents and doesn't hesitate to lead us tripping through the middle of every wave and through the shady rows between the vines. Her works have been found in publications including <I>A Day in the Life</I> and <I>Writer's Journal.</I> <br>Each exquisite poem is illustrated by Peasley's husband William J. Geer. He is an accomplished illustrator and artist. Beside a career as graphic artist photographer and art instructor he has illustrated two childrens' books. This is their first work in concert.
