Frog Joy is a collection of free verse and micro poems that point to the beauty in everyday moments. Beth Gulley is making her own world without a fence. Sometimes readers join her as she stains her fingers on low hanging mulberries. Other times the readers chase her along the trail and try to escape the rising flood waters. Underneath it all, a chorus of frog calls, like fingers running along the edge of a comb, echo in the damp night.

Few brief, gem-like poetic meditations shine like Beth's. Part diary entry, part koan or prayer, these new poems sparkle with wit and wisdom. I treasure them. You will too.
