Rockport Public Library Event Calendar
“Claire Millikin has made her own persistent music of a fully felt, fully experienced life in which ‘what's broken never heals completely.’ Often edging into what seems unspeakable, she finds a language that remains plain, steady, scrupulous, unsentimental and unshowy. Poem after poem registers the poet’s ‘battle for the moral world’—illuminating not only a single life but its human and environmental surroundings.” - EAMON GRENNAN, author of Still Life with Waterfall

"Ellen M. Taylor, in this brilliantly crafted and arranged book, shows again how home might not be something one has to deserve, but feels like a reward when one has arrived. Compelling and full of discoveries, this book is both a pleasure and a revelation." - BJ WARD, author of Jackleg Opera: Collected Poems, 1990-2013
