QUIET TREE is a poetry chapbook for dismantled souls in search of truth through quagmire and passages with God. DM's poems are comrades, who share a dark dwelling, with quirky innuendos and retorts to our dilemma of existence. God, often in the mist with a net to catch our predicaments and keep us from drowning.

DM Frech has the gift for taking a surprising angle on the world as if it were the most natural view, in a plain-spoken voice that somehow pierces to the heart of every moment on first encounter, and she has the craft to explore that moment in accumulating circles of context, letting the ripples of that initial wonder radiate in unforeseen ways. She takes us from a sometimes droll, sometimes dead-pan astonishment, and leads us deeper, into heartbreak and poignancy, and it is a journey well worth taking.

Blurred Vision

By Judith Kirby

What is blurred vision? Is it a physical condition, or does it concern matters of the heart? What is the greater loss of vision? Having encountered and dealt with both of these vision challenges for almost 50 years, Judy Kirby confidently shares the value and importance of having spiritual eyes open and aware of God and His beautiful world despite physical vision limitations. “See” how this legally blind author attempts to make this distinction “clear” in her 10-year collection of poems, writings, and personally taken photographs. At the early age of 20 and with a full life ahead of her, Judy Kirby was diagnosed with Stargardt’s Macular Degeneration, which eventually made it impossible to see the faces of family and friends. Driving would cease. Her 1970s college degree in computer programming and accounting would not be utilized. Compared to the current technology of the 21st century, what was available then would be considered quite archaic! Fortunately, many huge advances have made it possible for Judy Kirby to have devices that talk to her and even enable her to take pictures with her smartphone of people, places, and things she cannot see. After enlarging her photos on a bigger device, she was able to view them and write her God-inspired entries for this book!

This volume is Exhibit A of what can happen when a person who always loved light verse, particularly of nonsense poets like Ogden Nash and Lewis Carroll, has had his life turned upside down and inside out by an encounter with the one authentic God and Creator. Was His purpose to change me so as to take my fun away? Don't think that for a moment. But what He did do was...well, for clues, read and savor Exhibit A! Enjoy!
