THIS ENDURING GIFT

“This Enduring Gift is a testament to the abiding power of poetry within a particularly unique community and, by extension, speaks to poetry’s universal relevance. Here, a convergence of voices from places near and far, gathered in a small Midwestern town, observe, reflect, meditate, and wonder. From evocative lyrics to compelling narratives, from precise moments of deeply felt experience to inquiries of mystical complexities, these poems resonate with individual authenticity and true collective spirit.”

“This Enduring Gift is a wonderful compilation of the many rich voices and gifted poets who live in Fairfield, IA—a unique spot on the map. This anthology should not only endure, but inspire, enlighten and entertain all who touch its pages.”
