Appear to Dance is a compassionate collection of poems dealing with a journey through time filled with hopeful rays that shimmer through the miasma of conflict, and awakening to the strength of nature budding. Linda's poems are about life, where there is "moonlight in flower pots", tulips "unearthing chlorophyll", and where "a sparrow's song fills the sky". This carefully observed testament to a dark period is an important one. Full of life, it will stand the test of time. Appear to Dance is poetry as memoir, at its best!

From the Author: When the lockdown for the COVID pandemic was announced in March 2020, I sensed that we were embarking on a time of new trials and discovery. I decided to write every day. It was early spring in New York City and as an avid gardener, I focused on nature’s rebirth with a meticulous eye. I contracted COVID in February 2021 at a time when the vaccine was beginning to roll out and being offered to senior citizens and members of the population who were considered “high-risk.” My symptoms changed from day to day. Overall, I spent weeks in bed and felt like my health never returned to the level it was pre-COVID. Writing every day during this time allowed me to tune into the world with a conscious awareness, which I believed helped me comprehend this difficult time. Read this book and travel back to this transformative time in history.
