"Ranzoni is sometimes herself, sometimes the old farm wife, or her grandmother, or her white haired Indian ancestor. This is barefoot poetry. Not in the bucolic sense, in the sense of unimpeded full contact with the earth it treads which is good dirt, solid rock, unmown grass. This is a sensual seasonal excursion of poems tender and violent, rough and classic. Follow her as common words that might have seemed weeds in a field corner bloom as autumn asters. You may want to remove your shoes."
~ Robert Chute ~
Author, 13 Moons and Bent Offerings, a trilogy

"The pieces in this collection speak to us in familiar ways, stirring within us a deep sense of home. True Mainers will find themselves transported, magically set by the fire listening for the symphony of feathery percussion, enjoying the feel of earth beneath their feet, while inhaling the scent of evergreens overhead and warm bread on the hearth. And, within the shelter of this magic we find a glimpse of a woman who carries our home within her bones, the true essence of Maine."
~ Sherri L. Mitchell ~
Penobscot Nation author and teacher

"Sitting in the chair she
opened her mouth to speak and
a white dove flew into the air, lighting my mind."
