“In Shadows Light the poet confronts the silences; through poignant images grounded in daily life we fall wholly into uncensored emotion.”

If you love poetry add this gem to your collection. Take this book with you on a crowded subway train and allow Ann to transport you to another dimension. Indeed, Ann is an ideal travel companion. When you read Shadows Light you will be embarking on a journey and along a road you may never have traveled before, dip into a treasury of images, into feminist rage, and comments on family life that will surely strike a responsive chord. Not only a poet. Ann is a also a sculptor. Interspersed among the poems are photographs of her sculptures - like walking through an art gallery. Each poem paints a landscape, an experience, an emotion as Ann recreates the key moments in her life, giving them to us so that we may savour them to capture and experience their sorrow, their splendour and their joy. You certainly will never forget this book!

“Spare, intense and deeply resonant”.
Kathy Ross, Sculptor.
“I stood in the living room reading a poem and my heart turned over as my dinner guests waited for their coffee. Powerful sculptures.”
