If you read Merril’s blog you know that she’s a historian and a poet. Here’s Merril’s first reaction to KIN TYPES. (Thanks, Merril!)
So–this arrived last night. I left it on the kitchen table, and I just started reading it–you know, leafing through it the way one does–and I got sucked in. I had to force myself to put it down because I have work to do. It is a powerful, lyrical mixture of poetry and prose, tragic accounts of everyday life–stories from her family history. Well, at least that’s what I’ve read so far. I’ll return for more in a bit.
OK, back to work now!
Luanne Castle is an award-winning poet. You can read more about her here.
Nice Luanne! Getting sucked in is always a good thing. Yesterday I checked our Barnes and Noble for Kin Types, but I was denied. Boo! I couldn’t even find someone to ask about it. I’ll look again next week.
Thank you so much, Jill! I don’t know if they will carry it in the store or not, but it available on their website. Sent you an email today, I think haha. Today feels like a blur!
Mine arrived this morning Luanne 🙂
Woot! Thank you so much, Andrea! xo
That does sound like a really interesting book! I love family histories
Ah, thanks, Phil. I know. I get caught up in any family stories I hear–no matter whose family it is!
What a lovely review. I have received my copy of Kin Types and am looking forward to spending some quiet time with it. Congratulations on your latest publication!!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it!
