Erin Noteboom Bow: poetry and children's writing
"These poems are the best that language can give us. They startled me into tears. With the bravery of a Gwendolyn MacEwen taking on the uneasy life of T.E. Lawrence, Erin Noteboom gets inside the heart and head of a WWII veteran who doesn't even want his name to be mentioned...." --Lorna Crozier
"With wry insight, Noteboom captures the joys and sorrows of her daughter's first year in this collection of essays and short prose pieces."
"This is an elemental poetry of bones, salt, water, dust, and at the same time a celebration of all things as holy. In these arias of praise and prayer, Erin Noteboom's gift is to flare the ordinary detail as well as the extraordinary event into vision, meaning, and the magnification of spirit." --Jane Hirshfield

Of all the writing in the world, I like poetry and children's stories best. So I write both. I've had a lot of success with my poetry, publishing two books and appearing in lots of magazines. My children's fiction is as yet unpublished, but is now represented by a Big Deal agency (Pippin Properties in New York) so that will soon change. (Read more...)
