Cadence

Arsego's recent book of poetry, Cadence, is an absorbing read. To me, the poetry offers the author's complex and passionate insights, leading herself and the reader to a deeper level of emotional freedom. I felt seen. The poetry is personal and highly relatable. The honesty in her words and the (sometimes) painful imagery are strong but refreshing in their directness. I like it! Heartbreak and struggle can lead to great work, and I feel that this poetess has achieved it. Support this writer! -- Stacey Dexter, author of "Eddie: One Dog's Journey from Hobo to a Home"

If you've ever spent time lakeside or in the deep woods, escaped to the sea or a nearby pond, spent time sprawled out in the grass or watched critters in their natural habitat, you're going to love the encompassing nature theme that runs through Cadence. Dragonflies, weeping willows, shipwrecks and all sorts are waiting for you between the pages of this debut collection spanning thirty years and over seventy poems by Connecticut resident, Sharon Arsego, herself a lifetime observer of wildlife and lover of the four signature seasons in the Nutmeg state. Cadence's easy to read style with a side of insight and sprinkling of humor will make you feel welcome, whether hearing the word "poetry" usually makes you cringe a little or jump for joy a lot.
