Turtle Woman: & other poems

By Linda Sue Grimes

William Butler Yeats averred, "Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry." The poems collected here under the banner of "Turtle Woman" express my own personal quarrel with myself over the past five decades. The language is sometimes salty, sometimes spirited, but always represents the inner turmoil involved in trying to follow Henry David Thoreau's reason for retiring to the woods: "to live deliberately."
