Oregon Writers Colony is pleased to announce the publication of the poems of its late president, Elizabeth Bolton.

What colleagues say about this charming and evocative collection
“In an age of conformist mediocrity, Elizabeth Bolton chose ‘the road less traveled by,’ and the difference is a joy to eye and mind. To read her is to bring her lilting voice to life. Her verses dance like sparklers on a dark night”.
—David Hedges, noted poet and writer; President, Oregon State Poetry Association; Board Member, Oregon cultural Heritage Commission
“Poet-play-write-novelist-teacher–Elizabeth’s talent as a writer was as rich and varied as her personality. She was as comfortable writing an essay as a sonnet. She excelled in many forms.”
—Doreen Gandy Wiley, author; poet; Founding Member, Oregon Writers Colony
