This is one of my favorite poetry books I've read on Smashwords. Betts writes as if whispering, while making perfectly clear her intentions, like the delicate stroke of a paintbrush in the hand of Monet. When she referred to silence as "The nurturing teat of doubt" (in the poem, "Silence"), I felt my stomach flip like "Exactly!," but my favorite piece was "The Places You'll Go" - not because I'm a huge Seuss fan, which I am, but because the message is perfectly stated with the skill and wisdom of a veteran writer - I thought to myself, "Nailed it."
