Customer Reviews:
"I laughed out loud when the poet meets Leroy, "the undisputed king of tires," who tells her,"You're a mighty
lucky little lady, having your blow-out where you did." I said, "Agreed," when she concedes that our penchant
for identifying trees "will not cause them to kneel and give up their mystery." From her "Window Seat" Kristina
Simms offers observations-humorous entertaining and thought provoking. She reminds me of Robert Frost
and "down to earth" poets that Garrison Keillor proclaims on their birthdays." - Nancy Manning
"What a find! Window Seat is a remarkable collection of poetry covering a broad range of human
experience. From the whimsical "Recipe" (which produces a hummingbird), to the unblinking accuracy of
"Raven" (a damning picture of Congress), to the tragedy of personal loss explored in "Aunt Thelma's Space,"
Kristina Simms brings a wise and womanly vision to each poem. Again and again commonplace scenes open
onto most uncommon places. Ms. Simms' writing is magical! Window Seat is definitely what's for Christmas
for my friends." - Annette Cotter
"Bravo — wonderful chapbook! I feasted on your apt words and chuckled at your humor. I give this
book a very high rating." - Debby Cooper
