JOAN MATTHEWS

Joan Matthews walked the historical Erie Canal for eight years, reveling in the beauty of nature and reminiscing. The 341 poems in each volume range from the sublime scenery to the ineffable quality of the sexual experience to the fruitful blessing of strict celibacy.

These books are for individuals who enjoy romance, nature, and a positive gift of memories. The reader should feel revitalized and refreshed, as if he or she had been on a promenade on the Erie Canal path. This is the deal of the century.
