• " From all of the writing talent in the Four Corners, a refreshing voice is emerging in the form of poetry. Farmington, N.M., resident Kathleen Browning has published her first collection of poems in Counting Sparrows. In it she introduces readers to 40 of her poems - highly readable and touching ones at that. For some, reading poetry is a chore, beset with a lack of understanding the nuances, obscurity and English degrees. None of that is true with Browning. Hers are poetically pleasurable and accessible to any reader. You don't feel as if you are reading literary experimentation. Rather, they are her deeply personal words that she willingly shares with readers in a simply beautiful way. She writes her poems with fire and tenacity; they are a statement of her individuality. Browning's subjects are ones we all understand. I'd share some standout poems from the collection, but they all deserve equal attention (except, perhaps, the exceptionally touching and smile-inducing "Unsleeved"). It's a book that you'll pick up time and again because you understand the ideas and feelings of which Browning shares. She explores seasons, walled-off hearts, her father, her mother, wildlife and love." - Inside Outside Magazine, The Big Book Review November/December by Amy Maestas

• "Counting Sparrows had me completely entranced reading through each page. The language and use of imagery and metaphor is exciting. Ms. Browning has a uniquely different voice which captures the imagination and inspires the muse. I finished the book wanting more." - Joanne Olivieri author of Serenity and Red Lanterns.

• "I'm always compelled by poetry grounded in nature and while kathleen browning lingers on the beauty of the world, it's not sunshine and roses--her work kicks you in the side before you're done with it." - Michelle Barnette, author of Infinite Space
