Late April

By Katherine Mercurio Gotthardt and Katherine Mercurio Gotthardt

Late April celebrates the poetry genre, as well as the seasons-of nature and of life. Joy, sorrow, anger, irony and humor are well represented. In this book, the cyber world of social media and big data also have a place, appropriate as some of the drafts were born on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. Juxtaposed with memories of Gotthardt's mother, these pieces remark on what it means to be human in 2019, with half a heart in the natural world, the other half in the technological. If it seems a little bit contradictory, it should. As Gotthardt writes, "This is the way the world works, digressing from itself."

Whether it's about technology, health, loss of a mother, nature's seasons, or aging, Katherine has a unique way of expressing the joy, complexity, irony, grief, and humor of living life in the modern age. A must read. - Author Nancy Wyatt, MHT, TNLP

Katherine's poetry is refreshing and relevant. It takes the reader to depths in the simple and captures your imagination to ponder the poignant. - Author Jan Rayl, BSN, RN, Vice President of Write by the Rails, the Prince William Chapter of the Virginia Writers Club
