Asparagus Roots

"The pages of Asparagus Roots aren't lined with words. Rather, they're painted with vivid word pictures that I couldn't help but pause to admire, linger over, and then let go to fully submerge myself in." ~ Laurie Buchanan, PhD, author of Note to Self: A Seven-Step Path to Gratitude and Growth, International Book Awards Winner, Body, Mind, Spirit Book Awards Winner, Forward Indies Winner, Nautilus Book Awards Winner ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬_____________________________________ “Banning is a master of the spot-on metaphor, the intriguing title, the dazzling verb, the credible personification. This skill transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Who knew someone could find such significance in cold feet, a dog’s nose, or the ‘brightness’ of a stew? The range here is vast: from dark places, to wry irony, to the blessings only pets can bestow. Under Banning’s sharp eye, July 4th becomes a statement about war. Her language sizzles with originality: the chemical sting of tears, the velvet of a mourning dove, the shadow of a hemlock, or the song of a fractured hip. In this collection, insight, humor, and lyricism encourage not only a new way to understand the world, but to appreciate it.” ~ Laurel Yourke, UW-Madison Emeritus, author of Beyond the First Draft: Deep Novel Revision __________________________________________ "A book of warm poetry and poetic prose, of home and family, and little slices of life. Sweet and bittersweet, this is a book to ponder, a book to savor, a book to remind us of all that really matters. Read it. You’ll be glad you did." ~ G. Egore Pitir, author of Face of our Father, Best Indie Book Award, 2015
