In the ordinary can often be found the extraordinary. The ordinary is not the things that happen to us on a day-to-day basis but is the thing that brings order to our day-to-day lives. In this collection of poetry, Carol Anderson brings us the beauty and wisdom of the ordinary and shows us the sacred things in our lives. Between the memories of her parents' hands and deceased friends, she shows us glimmers of her life, and does so with the voice of a versatile mature poet.

Review
This powerful book of poetry by Chicago native Carol Anderson... tackles ordinary life with awesome insight. --CJ Laity , chicagopoetry.com, August 2005
About the Author
Carol Anderson was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. At the age of two she developed a bone disease which immobilized her in bed for the next three years. There, her grandmother read to her fairy tales, Aesop's Fables, and poetry, her index finger moving under each word. Robert Louis Stevenson's ‘Land of Counterpane’ spoke directly to the bedridden child, ignited a passion for poetry which continues to this day. Carol Anderson has had her work published in numerous literary journals including: The Aurorean, Cappers, Dream International Quarterly, Grit, Guideposts, Red Owl Magazine and Upsouth. She has had her non-poetic work published in Guideposts and Streetwise.

First Sentence:
She followed him as he walked the sterile fields hoping to retrieve the onion skins he shed knowing she could not, would not, cautiously stepping over and around translucent skin where it fell; and, when the field ended at the bar she could not cross, he climbed over and turned to her and she saw his deep inner core, sweet and desirable and hot with his pain.
