“Chris-Ann truly has a gift. Her uncanny ability to pull you into her world, while evoking treasured moments from your own experiences, reflects empathy, and true craftsmanship. Her collection not only narrates her own life’s questions, but beautifully and effectively reflects how others may also perceive the world, but are unable to find the words. Chris-Ann has not only found her voice, but has managed to help us find our own.”

R. Hamilton, @faithinmyname

“Let me tell you this… if [Chris-Ann] had a poetry reading night. I’d be there. That’s all.”

Part One: Where Memories Live

“Chris-Ann’s writing gave me insight into her values as well as my own, especially since the concept of memory is a topic that is of deep importance to me. I enjoyed wading through the still and troubled waters described in her poetry, from the human unease of growing older she alludes to in back to shore, to her longing for home in returning residents.“

K. Vermont, @state_of_vermont

“Our minds and bodies are beautiful, complicated homes…”
“Afterall these years, my muscles and memory always brings me back to you.”
“The names ignored by history books…will be remembered too…”
“In my mind, your laugh is as alive as it was…”
“So she writes to remember. She can persuade words to stay, but time has a way of moving on…”
“Keep low… we will make it home.”
“This is an ode to us, who at one time have called the salt-seasoned lands…home.”
“Hoard me in your memories, picture frames and stories…”
“…I could collect and mold moments into memorial stones… to bring me back to sure.”

Part Two: A Muse Meant

“I do like that it gets deeper at the end. Reminds me of walking into a bookstore and seeing the popular things up front, but the complex/explicit things in the back.”

R. Southwell, @r_south

“We are vessels of inspiration…”
“How can I win if you prefer a memory…”
“It’s safer to watch the sea, but will you swim for me?”
“Is it safe to let my hair out, every tangle and curl, let it stretch as far as the sun?”
“I can still smell you in my bones, and recall the way your eyes shapeshift into stars…”
“Tea and coffee don’t grow in a day. Time is what we need.”
“…More is yet to come, so let’s set the tone from this note forward.”
