                   (Available on AMAZON and BARNES & NOBLE)

Laurie Kolp's poetry jumps from playful to gritty, from tender to dangerous. In other words, Laurie is a poet who takes chances and dares to surprise her readers with each poem. ~Robert Lee Brewer, Senior Content Editor at F+W Media, Author of Solving the World's Problems.

Laurie Kolp's accessible language and light touch are often reminiscent of Billy Collins. ~Sheila Banning, Author

*
Because Kolp writes of the everyday, she writes of the familiar. These poems and the life they paint are recognizable. We see ourselves in the poems; we share the emotions they evoke; and the life and lives they represent become our lives. ~Glynn Young of Tweetspeak Poetry, Author of Poetry at Work

*
...ruby throated and taking the objects of the everyday to her bower to make an artful whole for the reader. ~Charles Bane, Jr., Pushcart Prize nominated author of The Chapbook and Love Poems, Creator of the Meaning Of Poetry series for the Gutenberg Project

*
Through these pages, she awaits diagnoses, watches pieces of her heart chip away, and hunkers down for the long job of putting it back together. Laurie moves through the blue with humor, and hope. ~De Jackson, Poet

*
The "Blue Couch" is a chorus of voices that sing to the common ear. Her poems are for the everyday man and woman. ~Terry Jude Miller, Poet
