Reviews for "The Many Moods Of Mary"
Reviewed by Gayle Tiller

"The Many Moods of Mary" is an eclectic collection of poems and short stories. I was entranced by the vividness of Ms. Wilson's poetry. "Youthful Eyes" had me pondering about youth versus elders. "Just a Boy" brought tears my eyes.
These poems show that inside all of us is a little girl or boy. We cannot forget our beginnings.
I was moved by Ms. Wilson's poem "The Life of Leisure?" about her mother's vibrant past in contrast to her life in a nursing home. And I felt sorrow as I read Ms. Wilson's poem "Momma I miss you."
I also enjoyed Ms. Wilson's short story collection. My favorite was "An African-American Child's Journey to Earth." The story was very vivid and quite moving.
All in all, I would highly recommend "The Many Moods of Mary." If you're looking for an excellent collection of poems and short stories, you definitely should check out Ms. Wilson's work.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
