The Pelican Tree Marnie Devereux

Devereux's poems and Hendrickson's artwork speak musically together to enthuse and inspire us to imagine the best within ourselves ... You can never close the cover on The Pelican Tree nor put it to roost on the shelf with the rest of your old favorites; rather, it will ring euphoniously in your ears like the final cadence of a symphony, playing on and on, long after the orchestra has packed and gone home for the evening... Alan Malnar, author of Voices of the HeadlandThe sophomore venture from Marnie Devereux, The Pelican Tree, is a poetic excursion through intricate forests and the troubled landscapes of realism. Love, age, death... every honest experience, cherished or arduous, is elucidated between these pages - as though one were to hold a candle up closely to their innermost feelings and gaze fascinated at what they saw. 'See how they preen! [...] See how they dance, like you and I.
