Amber Notes

$15.95

Judith A. Rypma, 2015. Paperback.

Categories: Non-fiction, Poetry
  • Description

Description

“Judith Rypma’s Amber Notes is a world traveler’s homage to the dance of permanence with transience. An insect in amber is the perfect emblem for this dance, and the image recurs throughout the book. Rypma’s poems recount a happy girlhood, the joys and terrors of sexuality, and a mature woman’s wanderlust. These poems are charming and wise.” – Richard Katrovas

“Forbidden fruit, ancient memory, healing talisman, comforting touch: Judith Rypma’s Amber Notes is all of these in turn. As she transports us across a lifetime and around the globe, from the domes of the Kremlin to the coral gardens of Fiji, we grow ever more grateful for this mineralogist’s gift of ‘polished agate for the mind.'” – Dan Veach, editor of the Atlanta Review and author of Elephant Water, winner of the 2013 Georgia Author of the Year Award
