Praise for Yesterday Echoes

Poet Chris Wood takes us on a harvest of memories that are so detail rich that they can be tasted and felt like the sweetness of honey and the rough grit of loss. Her book is a true gift of remembrance and a tribute to her family as well as Appalachian life. Wood makes us recall everything from pigtails to Zippo lighters and takes a chore like going to the dry cleaners as an adult a passageway to memory. Her chapbook, Yesterday Echoes, is a collection where the present stirs the warmth of the past like a cup of hot tea.
—Natalie Kimbell, author of On Phillips Creek
