Lewis explores life in provocative ways through her poetry. “Splitting the Earth” is an edgy compilation of some of her best poems, several of which are in print here for the first time.
"WONDERFUL!"
Betsy Lewis is a talented poet and wordsmith who has created a masterful work of poetry. Poems deal with the tragedy of gun violence, the joys of love, growing up on a farm, and losing those we love far too soon. Any lover of good poetry should have this in his or her collection! My favorites included a poem about a young man dancing on the front porch and twin poems about an old painter addressing his wife after she chides him for being too taken by the model he is painting! The wife's poem to the painter and the twin poem from the painter back to the wife, are exquisite. This book is not to be missed! -Bruce Potts
