Advance praise for Repeat after Me: Poems and Such
The word domestic should be one much more fully and widely appreciated, understood, in fact, as encompassing all that truly matters in our lives. This book is the story of a familiar life (hence, the suggestive title) made remarkable by the poet’s attention to detail and by her unique combination of levity and gravity, telling us at one point, for example, with tongue only partially in-cheek, that “my family / quells their objections to one-man-one-woman unions and sanctified suffering / through abuse, addictions, and infidelities.” It is with that same honesty, clarity, and apparent ease that Ackerman insightfully and often delightfully wades through topics as diverse as forest fires, snakes, mammograms, organ donors, honeysuckle, regret, grief, and of course, love. These are poems to be read repeatedly, and you will recognize yourself in them a little more each time.
—Scott Owens, Author of Sky Full of Stars and Dreaming
How hard it is to keep what lives alive. Kathy Ackerman brings it all to life: love, loss and the fear of loss, revelations about what’s become essential and what no longer is. These poems are ordinary days like the ones we all must hack a path through, but when we look back and consider the way we’ve come an unexpected clarity fills us. Everything ordinary is extraordinary. Repeat after me: so it is with love that lasts, tender and perennial / tender and vulnerable.
—Bill Griffin, author of Riverstory : Treestory

Store description
Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
