Editorial Reviews

"Above all, Pearson demonstrates a mastery of imagery... Longtime poetry fans and new readers alike will appreciate the vibrant, lyrical imagery of Pearson's nature-influenced verses."

BookLife, by Publisher's Weekly

"The Sandpiper's Spell' feels like an homage to the fragility of life. Death so close, but beauty closer. It requires slow, deep, repeated reading. The imagery is complex and layered. Often unexpected, like a dance, a quick shift in direction."

playwright and author of "Looking for the Pony" - Andrea Lepcio

"stunningly reflective... The Sandpiper's Spell is a relatively short poetry read but Tom Pearson fills each page with an abundance of evocative language."
