Understated and Beautiful!,
By
This review is from: Green Stars (Paperback)
I read this book slowly, savoring several poems each day over the course of the week. The poems speak quietly and deeply; many of the images seeped into me and stayed there, particularly in the poems evoking childhood memories of her mother. I feel very grateful that Charlotte Matthews' poems are in the world!

A Voice That Lingers,
By
This review is from: Green Stars (Paperback)
When I travel, I tend to gather books, a half dozen perhaps, to take with me upon my trip. They serve as familiar words to read before bed, comfort, entertainment. For the past year I have found that I consistently place Green Stars in my travel basket.
Charlotte Matthews' poems speak to me in a voice that lingers - I'll carry a phrase with me throughout my day, the way one hears a line of a song over and over after listening. Matthews' is a skilled observer of life: fields and sky, livestock and cloth, children and parents, she notes their perfections and imperfections in a way that opens eyes to another way of seeing these everyday things.
