Somewhere Between

These poems are about relationships - their tenuous beginnings, their midpoints - somewhere in between, their resolutions or ending. Some poems are loving, mystifying, sad, uncontrollable, and even a bit sarcastic or funny. These poems hold emotions that run the gamut of relationships. May you find one that especially speaks to you. Carol's poetry flows onto paper and into your senses with the clarity, skill, and nuanced rhythm that few poets master. However, it is her bravery to explore what is innermost within us all, that brings one to read, reread and remember her poems." Gary Morgan "Carol explores relationship from inside out, looking back on a life well lived, even as she wanders through a maze of ups, downs and sideways. Her poetry is magical, moving and mysterious: enjoy " Susan Bassett "In Carol Fortino's Somewhere Between "Love... like a fine architectural drawing" opens her latest volume of poetry. Family, friends, and landscapes that she inhabits, here and abroad, are the glue that holds these poems together. The collection resolves with "I regret that I must inform you...." and A Journeys End. A fascinating read about one woman's journey." Kyle Laws, poetess author of So Bright to Blind
