An Alchemy of Joy
My poems were included in an anthology of Inland Empire Poets entitled "Deep Down Things", which was published by Washington State Press in 1992. A tape of eighteen of my poems called "The Skin of the Earth", with the music of George Sabo, was produced by Sabo, an Alaskan musician, in 1994. My poems also were included in a collection of Alaskan women poets called "Whispered Secrets". While living in Alaska, I published a chapbook of poetry An Axe for the Ice in 1979.
"Eleanor Limmer's poems are meaningful to those who can appreciate how listening to nature, especially a lake, serves as a metaphor for our lives. I was particularly touched by her poem "Storm Water Run-Off" and challenged to examine in my own life when "Our roots and connections to what is elemental is served," or how the "sludge of a careless word or thoughtless deed can choke our spawning ground." I heartily recommend An Alchemy of Joy for a meditative experience whose evocative words and images stir music for the soul."
