The Silver Thimble is a chapbook of poetry about people--the mentally disabled, the poor, the old, the young, friends and family.
Divided into three parts, The Silver Thimble, shares poetry about the author's experiences while working in a home for mentally disabled (Reveries), while living in Guadalajara, Mexico (Pensamientos), and while enjoying the intimacy of her own family (Symphonies.)
The chapbook includes both previously published and new works. The title of the work comes from a line in the poem, entitled "The Collector."
Book is available for sale directly from the publisher for $6.00 plus postage. Contact: Palettes and Quills, 1935 Penfield Road, Penfield, NY 14526 (585) 383-0812 or email psnquill.rochester.rr.com.
