Sharon Webster
The poems in Everyone Lives Here create a world of varied, yet singular voices. Speaking of a treasured friend with Down Syndrome, a partner having surgery, or a tired cleaning lady, Webster looks for the common thread and finds: Step after step is everyone’s name. Moving through the seasons, these poems and the evocative photos of Webster’s visual artwork that accompany them are sensuously alive and watchful, on the lookout for new ways to see - and say. A loaded baseball diamond lives inside everyone while a tiny reflection of grass in the window tells a long story to keep my heart afloat.
