I am sure that long after we're gone, Caol Aonoff's poetry will live on alongside the work of other great poets. These masterful poems and photographs are all about true connection and the spiritual gifts Native cultures offer–Nancy
Clemens
Reading Aronoff's poetry is chasing scent of pinon, inhaling indigo moons, wrapping consciousness in corn silk. We are touched beyond measure as she weaves words into meditations on life, balance, wisdom, and the world of spirit. Eagerly, we follow her along ancient paths back to soul source and the sacredness of Mother–MaDELYN GARNER | |  | | Dreaming Earth's Body
A collaboration with artist Betsie Miller-Kusz of poetry and paintings.

/xml | |  | | Her Soup Made the Moon Weep
Carol's poems sparkle with memoirs of loved ones and favorite places and things, like hot pink lipstick that erases 'summer romance from a wolf's lips'–Jim Ciletti
In her newest collection, Aronoff illustrates her poems with imagery that haunts long after the poems have been read. Her poems are written without excess, with just enough passion to hold the reader captive. When she says everything is welcome here with no respect for order, we recognize her desire to embrace all of life, to accept what has arrived at her door without judgment–Colette Jonopulos | |  | | Tapestry of Secrets
“. . . Some secrets ennoble/their guardians, others speak from dark closets in language we no longer understand.” Dr. Carol Alena Aronoff writes here of the latter, Conversos “in sixteen hundred’s New Mexico,” whose lives depend on withholding the secret of their Jewish lineage. Exiled by the Spanish Inquisition on pain of burning, these secret Jews can be condemned by the food they serve, old ballads, the six pointed star on the side of an old grave stone, her Abuelita’s whispers – the Sh’ma – and more – “stars within crosses” – even a cross hung by the doorframe where the mezuzah would go. These exquisite poems in Spanish, English, and Hebrew reveal the stories of brave people whose descendants still observe HaShem’s presence among us. With a comprehensive bibliography, Tapestry of Secrets is a treasury of information and poems. We need it to flourish.
–Hilda Raz, author of All Odd and Splendid
| |  | | The Nature of Music
Carol Aronoff's poetry and photography are rare gifts. She writes with striking sensual clarity and a sensitivity to the natural world that reminds one of Mary Oliver and Emily Dickinson–Robert McDowell
The rythms and patterns of nature's own music fill this book. Carol Aronoff knows that good poems do not flinch at paradox and deep mystery, but embody them, and hers do. Her poems invite the daily ritual of reading poems as 'offerings to energy and order,' to hear the innate and subtle music that is our sensory earth–Laurie Kutchins
