From Finishing Line Press   SNOWBIRD   Poems by Iris Litt   Warm sun, fresh snow—and amazing poetry!   Go with Iris for a joyous and illuminating respite.  Even if you can’t get to her enchanting island this year, reading “Snowbird” will give you the satisfying experience of the snowbird way of life:  the sun on your face and the snow beneath your feet. Start with “Downsouth”; then halfway through the book, travel “Upnorth”.  The problems of life don’t go away but they’re easier to take in the Florida sun.   Iris Litt is known for writing accessible poetry that is also excitingly fresh and imaginative. Her poems give new meaning to little things that suddenly aren’t little at all.  Her ability to capture the spirit of place means that you’re there with her, whether she takes you to her enchanting island or her beautiful mountains or Greenwich Village or any of the other places you visit with her. This is Iris’ third book of poetry, and she has become a well-loved poet for this accessibility which is, at the same time, complex and illuminating.  Poetry like this can take you north, south, anywhere.  It’s a beautiful trip.  Don’t miss it. AUTHOR INFORMATION:   Iris Litt, author of  “Snowbird” has written two previous books of poetry:  “What I Wanted to Say” from Shivastan Publishing, and “Word Love”, from Cosmic Trend Publications.  She has had poems, short stories and articles in many  magazines, including CONFRONTATION, ONTHEBUS, THE NEW RENAISSANCE, THE RAMBUNCTIOUS REVIEW, SCHOLASTIC, ATLANTIC MONTHLY (special college edition), PACIFIC COAST JOURNAL, THE WRITER, WRITER’S DIGEST, THE BRYANT LITERARY REVIEW, THE LONDON MAGAZINE and many others.  She has recently won awards from THE SATURDAY EVENING POST and WINNING WRITERS.  She has taught (as an adjunct) at SUNY/Ulster and Bard College, and has led writing workshops for The New York Public Library,  The Educational Alliance and many other venues in New York City and the Hudson Valley.  She has also led Woodstock Writers Workshops for many years.  She worked as an advertising copywriter and copy supervisor and general freelance writer, all of which pays better than poetry! She lives in Woodstock and in Greenwich Village, and winters on Anna Maria Island off the Gulf Coast of Florida, which was the inspiration for “Snowbird”.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner

Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
