Inspired by the beauty of landscapes, nature, visual art, music, parenthood, faith and the creative process itself, Ms. Norcross sheds light on why we need to strive for more out of life than just the external or temporal. The Red Drum has poems for every searching soul. Reviews of The Red Drum: "The Red Drum is a heart-felt collection of poems written by a woman quite obviously in love with living. Cristina Norcross sets out to celebrate the joy of living in the presence of authentic moments, and these poems are just one way, I imagine, that she succeeds in doing this. As a reader, I go to poems in search of beautiful language, and light, and wisdom. And I found quite a few gems in The Red Drum." Ingrid Goff-Maidoff, author of: Befriending the Soul, Moonlight and Remembrance, What Holds Us, The Honey Sutras, and other titles. (www.ingridgoffmaidoff.com) "The Red Drum by Cristina M. R. Norcross is a testimony to the transformative power of words. Her masterful poems find joy and meaning in every day experiences through vivid language and imagery.
