Author: Charlotte Cox
Reviews:
“Charlotte Cox leads us on a journey, from the brash young confidence of the rolling prairies of the Midwest, through the diverse experiences of family and place with some exotic stops along the way, and finally to the lakes of New England—to the pain of loss and then to resolution—always with the poet’s eye for detail and reflection. This is a journey indeed worth your taking.”
– Robert Demaree, author of Mileposts and After Labor Day
“In ‘Epilogue,’ the final poem of Currents in the Stream, Charlotte Cox writes that poems contain ‘grains of truth, seeds of dreams.’ And here among the wealth of these poems, you will find the grains and seeds of a life lived fully and well: childhood memories, family relationships, lyrical poems of nature, poems of marriage, of travels, of loss and, finally, of a woman alone in the world, redefining her place in it. These poems glow with clarity, close observation, and a sensitive perception of the world.”
– Patricia Fargnoli, author of Winter and Duties of the Spirit, and Poet Laureate of New Hampshire 2006-2009
“Charlotte Cox’s roots are strong. You can take the poet out of the Midwest, but you can’t take the sensible Midwestern buoyancy out of the poet. Many a writer has used a keen, observant eye to pry the world apart; Cox uses hers to discover which of life’s sour experiences are usable, then reassembles them in patterns that make more sense, composing a world we can live with.”
– Gordon Lang, author of No Match for a Scarecrow, and 2011 Poet of the Year, New England Association of Teachers of English
