I'm happy to announce that my mother, Janice Miller Potter, is releasing a poetry chapbook with Finishing Line Press. Titled Psalms in Time, it deals in large part with her childhood in Appalachia. Following is some information from the press release:

About Psalms in Time

“These poems balance on poetry’s elemental fulcrum—the lyric impulse to praise what is and the probing, meditative steadfastness of second thoughts.” —Baron Wormser, past Poet Laureate of Maine, author of Mulroney and Others, Scattered Chapters, The Road Washes Out in Spring and others.

“Beginning with a year of monthly psalms that are as committed to the wondering ‘How’ as to the prayerful ‘O’. . . . —Jeanne Marie Beaumont, author of Curious Conduct.

“Take one look at this rich collection of poetry, and surely you will look at it again and again.—Suzanne Cleary, author of Keeping Time and Trick Pear.
