Advance praise for STUTTERS Mary Ricketson's new book of poems-Stutters-is accurate as a chickadee's chirp or an arrow's sting. The poet creates a legacy varied as the soil's grains scattering from opening fingers.-Shelby Stephenson was poet laureate of North Carolina from 2015-2018. His recent books are Country, Praises and Cow Mire Songs.Mary Ricketson invokes the inner courage of a personal difference seeking to come to light.Her poetry warms our hearts with its raw passion and fear, its joys and sorrows. As told over the course of her lifetime, she shares her stories within the voice of a stutterer, bringing us into her realm. Mary shines a light on what it's like to want to speak but often having to change her pattern or her words or even avoiding speaking at all, for fear of what might or might not emerge from her lips and throat.
