Praise for In the Palms of Angels:
“More than a poet, Terri Kirby Erickson is the best friend you always wanted, the kind you can count on both to tell you the truth, and to help you bear it. Her poems shimmer like moonlight on water in the farthest corners of your soul.” –Sharon Randall, syndicated columnist and author of Birdbaths and Paper Cranes
Terri Kirby Erickson’s In the Palms of Angels invites us to enter the world of everyday life made numinous by the poet’s voice. “Heaven,” for example, becomes a real place with white curtains billowing, the cry of gulls, the sizzle of bacon, a place where one wakes up among the things and people one has loved. Her poems become metaphorical palms in which angelic encounters are cradled.” — Kathryn Stripling Byer, former Poet Laureate of North Carolina and author of Wildwood Flower and Coming to Rest
“There is no store-bought redemption pasted to the ends of these poems, but neither will you find hopelessness, self-pity, a turning away from the world. What you will find at the core of all these poems is the timeless North Carolinian’s beneficent but ungilded witnessing.” — Ron Powers, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author of Mark Twain, A Life, co-author of True Compass and Flags of Our Fathers

Hi, Terri,
I just read the interview you had with Robert Lee Brewer and wanted to thank you for the way your wrote of your faith as well as the poignant poem he featured. I will be visiting NC in September and when I travel I love to read fiction and poetry from the region I will be visiting. Any suggestions? I’d like something related to the Civil War, the plight of the African Americans and/or the Native Americans.
Blessings to you,
Victoria
I will
