Poetry: that fifth element: essential for human eyes to read, human ears to hear, and human hearts and souls to feel. Four elements as envisioned by Linda Imbler within poetry’s arc: from the myth of Theros to the reality of tornadoes [Air,] within the depths of despair at the loss of flood victims to the beautiful imaginativeness that can develop while watching clouds [Water,] following the trail from horrible domestic violence to paranormality [Fire,] seeking truth about a present day metaphorical earthquake or the theory of a future apocalyptic world [Earth.]

Just as the sea has its songs, so do those who walk on land. Linda Imbler poetically strums our heartstrings and sings images either hopeful or heartbreaking. Each poem evokes an emotional response to the ups and downs of life. It is her fervent wish that you will walk through her words and know that your heartstrings have been touched by her transformative talent.
