Ethel Pochocki is author of many beloved children's books, such as The Mistletoe Girl, Penny for a Hundred, and Rosebud and Red Flannel, among others, and for years Pochocki's poetry has been enjoyed by readers of Animus, Cicada, Cricket, Echoes, and The Christian Science Monitor. With this, her first full-length book of poetry, readers are treated to the depth and breadth of Pochocki's shining talent with verse. The Women of Lockerbie is a wonderful showcase of Pochocki's prodigious powers of observation, her joy and knowledge of myth, music, life, literature and fable, gardening, little-known saints and unlikely angels. Reading The Women of Lockerbie is like a visit with dear old friend - you can almost smell the bread baking and see the laundry swaying on the line out in the back yard…. "It has been said that genius is a matter of making connections. If this is true, as I suspect it is, then Ethel Pochocki is most certainly a genius. She is a writer who notices everything. Not only does she notice, but she studies and reflects and connects, especially in her garden. There, and in her kitchen making jams and salads, she finds Mystery and Holiness - God, if you will - within the quotidan: an oak tree in a celery stalk, umbilical stars in apples, and the Trinity in a green pepper." ~ Barry Moser, on Pochocki's "A Writer's Garden" ~
