Author, Debbie Richard
“Debbie Richard, in her poems, poignantly observes the values and needs, the pains and joys,
in the human and natural worlds. She meshes all with the spiritual, her appreciation showered
with grace, honesty, and love, and, finally, acceptance of what she cannot change.
I love her poems.”
~DAVID SELBY , renowned actor and author of My Mother’s Autumn and Promises of Love.

come after all of it. There is a delicacy and maturity in her frankness."
