Poems from the Edge of Spring Elise Skidmore

Elise Skidmore is a native New Yorker, who has been writing poetry since she was a child. She feels blessed to have had the best parents, husband, and children a woman could ask for, and the strong bonds of family are often the subject of her writing. Her first book of poetry, POEMS FROM THE EDGE OF SPRING was a finalist in the 2013 EPIC eBook Awards. Her second book, WHEN LEAVES FALL, is available now in all digital formats.

I?ve read POEMS FROM THE EDGE OF SPRING, and can highly recommend it! The sort of book you can pick up for a moment?s respite or inspiration­­ or just sit and read from piece to piece, always entertained/comforted/made to think. Lovely book! ?Diana Gabaldon, NYT bestselling author

Poignant and lyrical, every sentence is a gem. Each poem brought back personal memories of family members and past experiences, each one re­lived through Ms. Skidmore?s precise pen. I thoroughly enjoyed this selection of poems, and look forward to reading more from Elise Skidmore! ?Karen White, NYT bestselling author
