Like Joy is Glenna Cook’s third book. She shares with us her determination 'to live life fully and purposefully' in her thoughtful and carefully crafted poems. Whether she is writingabout the childhood wonder of mistaking a hummingbird for 'the biggest bumblebee I ever saw,' or current affairs, her poems are direct and honest-wisdom distilled from livingthrough loss and joy. 'Life doesn’t promise a picnic in the park at the end,' she asserts, but 'I haven’t forgotten how to laugh.'-Sharon M. Carter, author of Quiver (Tebot Bach)Glenna Cook is a fighter, though her poetry wise and gentle, reminds us to treasure the beauty even as we struggle through loss. In this third collection, Like Joy, she argues withMr. Parkinson and tells us, 'My most boring task is sorting / through my ego for something / I’ve lost that I’ve never needed.' In 'Wonder' she writes, 'Wake up! / You are surroundedby marvels /that could astound you. / Claim them for your own / and let them change you.'-Debra Elisa, author of You Can Call It Beautiful

Cook’s Shapes of Time is an arc of a woman’s life, a life shaped by traditions and rhythm, a mirror of reflection. She gives us a litany of thanks, expressions of disappointment, unimaginable grief, unbridled joy, that in the end are unfi...
