A book written to relax with during the "Ups & Downs" of life, knowing in time, we can find a little peace. Taste the salt air and listen to the waves, as you read about calm harbors and view blissful, picturesque shots of seashores with full color art photography for each poem. Travel back in your mind to simpler times gone...to tales of seashores, romance, friendships and travel. These poems are evocative and deep. Life is full of changes, therefore we never stop learning. The ocean can be a very nurturing teacher. I believe there are not always answers, sometimes just a feeling. Sometimes we just have to trust. The selected poems and photos that have made the "cut" exhibit the true sense of where they come from. Father time and Mother Nature are are captured and enveloped between these two covers.

Poetry. There is something wondrously imponderable about the title of Nancy Botkin's latest poetry collection: the next infinity. What would that be like, the something that comes after everything? After negotiating one's way through religion, through the legacy and loss of parents, through a past receding "small and dim" as the memories of scratchy songs on an AM car radio, through moments fleeting like "ice cream melting faster than we could eat it." At another point she observes, "I'm starting to wonder if I'm in this poem / all by myself." A bit later, in the same poem, she asks "if we are keepers of our own asylum." By unpacking the experience of radical isolation in such unflinching terms, Botkins reveals how we are each our own infinity. And because we share this, we are not so alone after all. It's a lot to think about, and at times she acts as if she'd rather not: "My brain is even less inviting / when it's wild with dark birds flitting / through its spangled hallways." Perhaps less inviting to Botkin, but it is a blessing to her readers who join with those birds flitting through the hallway of her rich imagination. The final image of the book is a cosmic parlor trick, and perhaps that is all life is. And if so, these poems assure us, that's enough.
