Almedia Stewart -- Remembrance

Praise for Almedia Stewart's Remembrance One could admire this book for its big spirit alone and be blissfully content with that. Here is a soul, a great one, who embraces her life fully, past and present, and all the people she has ever met. But Almedia Stewart gives us so much more: her surprising, creative, and musically unique language. I feel she could have been a worthy contemporary of Zora Hurston and Langston Hughes, but I feel lucky to have her in this time infusing us with her own remarkable Renaissance spirit. Read her poems! They are rooms where you are invited for refreshment. Almedia says, “From this day forward, I’ll admit and amuse all unexpected visitors.” Welcome home, oh wandering stranger. --Rustin Larson, editor and publisher of Conestoga Zen Press
