Sheltered and Before The Contagious ...how far the imagination can run away from home into the unknown, into becoming so lost you can trade places...Cari Griffo's second book of poetry is a collection of poems she sent to family and friends during the pandemic while sheltered. With a compassionate compass she explores the meaning of home while unearthing love no matter how well hidden. The second section spans the past couple of decades with work she performed to live audiences, often in gritty caws, caw cawing a language which both releases us to hear our own breath and conjoins us to listen."e;Dearest Cari, you have carried us to the finish line. Like E.E. Cummings, you have carried our hearts in your heart. We the people of Planet Adobe Brick, say thank you! Thanks for all the poems past and poems to come. Thanks for being our tireless poetry worker!"e; ~Gary Glazner Founder and Executive Director Alzheimer's Poetry Project In Praise of Ripening"e;A very rich literary liqueur. These are poems to savor and like good brandy wine, will get you memorably drunk."e; ~Michael W. Eliseuson Writer and Founder of The Inkslinger's Review"e;Here is a voice as fresh and life-giving as spring rain."e; ~Morgan Farley Poet and Author of Name Yourself Feast"e;Strong and intricate work by a genuine maker."e; ~Thomas Fitzsimmons Poet and Author of The Poetry and Poetics of Ancient Japan
