Book of the Week #46

The Many Roads to Paradise by Dianalee Velie. (Middleborough, MA: Rock Village Publishing, 2006)

I came across this volume by poet and Newbury, NH resident Dianalee Velie at the recent New England Library Association conference. This is the third published collection of peotry by Ms. Velie and includes, among many others, the poem "The Eighth Day" which I especially liked.

Here are the first few lines:

So after God rested,
He got out His checklist,
looked at His creation
and laughed.
Revision would be a challenge.
