At the Crossroads

Lina's poetry inspires us to read her words aloud, vibrantly celebrating beauty in the world we love, by tasting her delicious words as they roll off our tongues, luring us into images that brilliantly flash before our eyes, and observing details we might not otherwise see. Lina's poetry is open, warm, welcoming, and thoughtful, recognizing the ongoing cycle of life, like the rhythm of the sea.-Kathy Enger, Executive Director Northern Lights Library Network
