Review By: Sylvia Garner

Mom’s Poetry: New Edition is a touching and inspiring collection that feels like sitting at the family table and listening to stories told straight from the heart. What began as a mother’s legacy for her children has grown into a beautiful reflection of twenty years of family history, spirituality, and resilience. Each Thanksgiving prayer-poem is like a yearly snapshot of love and growth, making the collection both deeply personal and universally relatable.

What gives this book its power is the way it blends the ordinary with the extraordinary. The poems move gracefully between sacred family traditions, spiritual reflections, and unforgettable moments of history — like the author’s moving piece written in response to 9/11 while working at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Loss and grief are also woven into these verses, through elegies for loved ones and passionate works written during difficult times. Yet even in sorrow, there is strength, faith, and an undeniable presence of grace.

With a total of 22 poems, the collection is wonderfully diverse. Some are solemn, some sacred, a few are passionate, and many are tender glimpses into the real moments of family life. Taken together, these works paint a portrait of a life lived with love, purpose, and deep spirituality. Mom’s Poetry: New Edition isn’t just poetry — it’s a heartfelt legacy of family, memory, and devotion. Readers who open this book will walk away with a sense of comfort, inspiration, and the beauty of words that truly come from the soul.
