April A. Severin is known for her concise, perceptive poetry. This collection is no exception; these qualities illuminate her exploration of different aspects of "opening" and what it means to be open. April's voice moves us; asks that we pause, observe and reflect upon the world around us. Her journeys range from the personal to experiences of the natural world, culminating with vibrancy and depth in the splendid title poem, Opening. - Eleanore Kosydar
