Customer Reviews

An exquisite blend of paintings, poetry and "how to".

This is an exquisite book in which the multi-talented author not only "serves up" a delicious blend of her own poetry and paintings but also inspires the reader to tap his or her own creative roots. A great book to browse or to go deep, it is one to which I return again and again. It is also one that I proudly display on my coffee table, and I have given it as a gift to many of my friends.

In a class of its own

Reading "Taproots" by Carol Egmont St. John was a life-altering experience for me. Through her poems and paintings, the author helps the reader find his/her own core of creativity. The "suggested activities" that the author provides prompted me to think in ways I'd never thought before. It made me see possibilities I never thought I'd find at 47. On its own, the book is a richly beautiful art book. The paintings and poems can be enjoyed over and over. The quality of Ms. St. John's work makes me wonder why we haven't seen books by her before -- her work will capitivate a wide audience of all ages. I plan to keep the book on my desk, right where I can reach for it.
