Sherri Bedingfield and Mollie Pilling Poetry November 7, 2010

This will be a book launch for two Antrim House poets, Sherri Bedingfield and Mollie Pilling, each of whom will be reading from her new book. Sherri’s book is entitled Transitions & Transformations, and Mollie’s book is entitled Journeys. A summary of each book follows:

In her first book, Sherri Bedingfield’s transitions and transformations are many. How naturally she moves from joy to deep sorrow and back to hard-earned joy, which she finds in the world of nature and in the dance of love; and how seamlessly she shape-shifts from human to animal existence and back again.This is a poet deeply in tune with psychic and physical mysteries.

In her first poetry collection, Mollie Pilling draws upon her many years of living, journeying, and teaching in foreign lands. In these intelligent, visceral, sometimes rambunctious, sometimes heart-breaking poems, the author’s journeys are emotional as well as geographical. She glories in the joys of motherhood and all varieties of love, but she also mourns the losses that follow unleashings of the heart.
