The poems of Carol Westberg’s first full-length collection utilize the music and flow of language to explore experience, image, and feeling. This is a record and a reflection on the common themes of our journey through life – love, uncertainty, sorrow, and joy. “The collection is a product of and a testimony to human maturity. One of its most memorable poems is entitled ‘Map of Uncertain Soundings,’ and the very title suggests all that is sublime in this apparently modest book.” –Sydney Lea
