Poet Helena Harper, www.helenaharper.com, just reviewed She Wore Emerald Then: Reflections of Motherhood by Magdalena Ball and Carolyn Howard-Johnson. So as not to steal any of her Mother's Day thunder, please go to her site to see the poems she chose to quote and see what she has to say about this ultimate in Gifts-for-Mother. It's at her blog http://helenaharpersblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/she-wore-emerald-then-cosmic-imagery.html.
