Meanings from A to Z
An Anthology of Poetry
by Shirley Kitchen


P is for poetry. Author Shirley Kitchen fashions words together, noting her existence and life around her. She writes of relationships with people and the earth. She speaks of loss, of change, of love and of striving to understand different perspectives. Using the alphabet as a structure for her poetry collection, Kitchen gives new life to words like ruefulness and mediocrity.
