I can scarcely wait till tomorrow

when a new life begins for me,

as it does each day,

as it does each day.

The Language of Tides

MoonPath Press, 2022

Lois Parker Edstrom


Book CoverEschewing grandiloquence, Edstrom’s poems take a pensive stance towards the immediate, the “ordinary,” while quietly rooted in the rhythms of the natural world. A master of simplicity, her prosody carries a balanced, musical, clear stream of language with understated authority. “Poetry pinned me to bliss,” sums up the poet, in full possession of her craft.

— Lorraine Healy

author of “Mostly Luck”
