Praise for Word Weaving #1:
REVIEW from Gwen Plano:
Author Colleen Chesebro is a master of syllabic poetry. Her talent is everywhere apparent in this first journal of “word weaving” where she both shares her own poems while showcasing those of others. The title is very apt, because of how the collection flows. From haiku to cinquains, one word-weaver after another uses syllabic phrases to capture the Autumn moon. I loved it! There is an elegance to this journal that deserves a drum roll. Bravo!
