Nancy Richardson, author of An Everyday Thing, says of Modern Tapestries, Medieval Looms: “Her (Milkuhn’s) narrative poems of the times of Henry VIII and his unfortunate wives are told by gardeners, weavers, or painters, and her descriptions are so artful and sensuous that one is transported into that long-ago time…Her creative talent is extended to other stories in other centuries: the music of Jane Austen’s time that allows love to bloom the exquisite descriptions of food in “Bon Appetit.” One can almost taste the ‘lemon slices sugared in champagne.’…Throughout the book, Milkuhn places poems of her own travel and life as a means to bring the descriptive and historical work back to life as it is lived now. The Orchard Street Press is pleased to announce the release of Modern Tapestries, Medieval Looms, the exciting new collection of poems from Carol Milkuhn of Saratoga Springs, NY
