"What a wonderful book Caldwell has put together, and what a wonderful way to experience poetry: as a dynamic adventure through which we can achieve in our lives a vitality so rare in this modern world." - Bruce McAllister, Professor Emeritus of Literature and Writing, author of The Village Sang to the Sea "In our fast-paced and highly-technological society, it is difficult to have time to reflect and feel. Feelings we have buried are unrecognizable to us. Because great poets wrote with a passion for all of life-its sadness, anger, resentments, loves, and joys-great poetry, especially in a collection like Caldwell's, can help us see ourselves as we really are and appreciate our souls fully." - Marian Oneal, Wellness Coach "Poems for the New Vitality is an awesome read. Caldwell weaves the body, psyche, heart, and soul into a journey to explore our own vitality!" - Michael D.
