Tina Kelley treads lightly with words. Her poetry radiates with joy in the natural world and people around her. What a delightful read!

This review is from: The Gospel of Galore (Paperback)

I went to Tina's poetry reading last night and then bought her book. I can't remember how long it has been since I have felt this strongly the connectedness to an emerging gestalt of meaning, that "ah ah" that comes with a mental parallax, the shifting of a view. I continued reading THE GOSPEL OF GALORE after returning home and going to bed.
