With gentle imagery and language, Sandy Roberts explores her own spiritual roots and survival of growing up in the deep South of 1940’s Texas, and the pain and hardship of the changing physical and political landscape.
Emily Dickinson kept at her side the two same books that were prominent in Sandy’s own childhood home – the dictionary and the bible. Perhaps those books were enough to plant the seed to love words, language, and the images and the connections.
In this age of truths coming to light, Czerwiec’s Conjoining shows us who the monsters really are and in her poetry — fierce and precise wielded deftly as any surgeon might their blade — she dissects the body politic.

The process of recovery skillfully woven into a poetic style of descriptive precision. Return is a snapshot of body bags, key tags, 90 day intervals and the triumph of that first year of freedom.

“Let it go—bow your head, drop your eyes with a sigh;/ Give the pearl to the sea, the balloon to the sky.”
