afternoon light
blue-grey skies
and water
give them a stage
to shine
seagulls

Books by Luci Shaw
I am thinking more about the years and decades that I’ve been reading books by Luci Shaw.
The Biographical Information at her site may be of interest. She was born in London, England in 1928.
Two examples of her poetry books on my shelves are:
LISTEN TO THE GREEN – Copyright 1971 Luci Shaw. Harold Shaw Publishers; Wheaton, Illinois.
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: poems – Copyright 2018 Luci Shaw. Paraclete Press; Brewster, Massachusetts.
She writes about her life and growing older in a generous way.
You can also view her Photo Gallery.

July 2014
This summer I am rereading books by Luci Shaw, along with a few poetry journals. Here and there I look at memoirs from thrift stores.
Always the Psalms – a place of stability and hope for me. So much room for growth. Sometimes good to read something new, and sometimes good to reread.
