Christy Birmingham’s  new book of poems is one of the best you will ever read.

Through what I see as 8 versions of her self, Christy reveals 8 versions of my self.

Yes, her metaphors are cunning, and her near rhymes, feet & other poetic abilities are alluring,

  However, it is her ability to stay focused on the self that make these poems very special & simply personally meaningful.

Read “Versions Of The Self” & be wiser, as you will discover in Future Selves.

BTW, the concept of “Versions” itself, is poetry! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
