NANCY P. DAVENPORT










Chance Meeting



I choose to sit out the day


take a break from life


sit out


          in silence


by climbing the tallest

tree in my yard

and escaping

into

the greenest part of

the lush spring

growth.


. . .


I knew I'd find

quiet. I didn't realize

I'd find You here.

"Good to see this slim and quite satisfying book in hand as a gift
from you, many thanks. I've read through the book a few times now and
there remains a bounce to these poems. Poems that have a high degree
of self consciousness and devil may  care to balance it all out with some
sort of gentle enough ease. Nancy may not even know what she is doing,
which is often the best method with poetry. Let the song take over.
The book design and size and feel of the stock all go together nicely.
Your publications also have a consistency of simply appearing.
Which strengthens existence."
