Just as “rooms are silent until we awaken whatever sleeps there,” Linda Caldwell Lee’s poems come from a quiet place within a meditative mind. Door after door opens into room after room, revealing truths of the heart. Always moving outward from darkness into light, these poems do indeed travel on faith. And like “a spider—the filament supporting its weight,” they carry the reader along.
Barbara Koons, author of Night Highway


Walk these delicate paths Linda has made with her poems. She digs in the darkness. She stops at forbidden campfires. She returns carrying the fossil of a fish.
David Shumate, author of HighWater Mark, winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize
