• "I feel myself lifted from the daily grind when I read these thought-provoking poems, which are both imaginative and reflective, giving me an awareness of being an integral part of their familiar messages. Through Summer's meaningful words, you will rediscover nature seen through her eyes and felt with her heart, as in her poem "Restless Season":

        Autumn flaunted her restless hues
        Streaming them through cracked windows,
        Tickling exposed skin with her sweet breath;
        Crispness becomes Earth's new fragrance.

.......and, again in "Wind," which illustrates an emotional bond with a loved one far away through nature's attributes:

        Rowing a small boat into the middle of loneliness
        I puckered my lips and blew against the stillness.
        Wishing that the gust from my being
        would form a gentle flowing breeze,
        Enticing the ripples to return home.

Nature, love and the human experience intertwine throughout Ivy Moon, as expressed so well in "Hidden Hurt":

        Lying low, just out of sight,
        The Watcher attempts to sleep,
        Trying to win an endless fight,
        Ignoring the urge to weep.

In "Returning Voice," Summers emphatically exclaims:

        Oh Poet! Thy words strike with tender force,
        Wrapping this heart in a lasting embrace.

My heart will forever be embraced in the eloquent poetry of Summer's Ivy Moon." - Jan Turner
