Synopsis

Thread Count belongs in everyone's library. Many of the poems will forever be committed to memory and quoted through time . . . as their meanings are eternal and beautiful. - Mark Houston, M.D., What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About HypertensionLike a time capsule, her (Erickson's) poetry draws in a reader as vividly as a snapshot or a painting, but with descriptions of emotions and environments that are lost in translation with film or paint. - Denise Kasper, Winston-Salem JournalTerri Erickson has made a marvel in these poems, a gift of connection that is rich, deep and wide. She expresses the essence of things both ordinary and remarkable in ways that invite the rest of us to experience our own lives more fully and deeply. In a world all too shallow and in love with speed, these poems demonstrate the great value of depth, caring and the moment taken to pause and consider. - Nelson Adams, Learn to Be Happy
