Calliope, a Greek muse, inspired epic poetry and eloquent prose. The authors of this collection found inspiration in many places. In “Foot Washing,” a woman with an unfaithful husband finds grace in ritual. An epic poem explores the poet’s Ojibwe heritage and her sense of place. Another poem explores a mother’s feelings when her grown daughter leaves home. In one story, a woman married to an odd professor finds a way of life that is a very good idea. “Paddle Through” is told through the eyes of a young teen who has recently lost his father. The very funny essay, “I Think I Can,” recalls the writer’s kindergarten years. Children will giggle over the lilting rhythms of “Witch Little’s Halloween.” Readers everywhere will relate to this rich collection of poems, essays, and short stories.
