A Sun Inside My Chest

Terri Kirby Erickson's sixth collection of poems, A Sun Inside My Chest, is one of those big books, the kind that fling themselves straight into our hearts and wedge there forever among the songs and prayers that sustain us. . . Her poems resound with a generous wisdom that recognizes elegy is as much a celebration as a mourning . . . This powerful book is here . . . to show us that loss is a catalyst for loving more deeply, and in the dark night of the world, light will find us, whether or not we seek it. -Rhett Iseman Trull
