Poetry in an Age of Panic: Poems of Strength, Vulnerability, Loss & Triumph (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639800117)

Terry Loncaric follows her passions in words: sensual, gritty, real. She gets it, the beat of living with rich similes and metaphors, bringing us to the core of her world. Each poem draws us in, leaving us waiting for more. With a touch of whimsy, vivid imagery, and social justice, we see and feel right along with her.

--Susan Schubert, author of My Place of Dreams, A Love Story

The secret dance of hummingbirds and sweet deep sounds of walks in the woods; the power of faith, love, and hope to soothe and transform us as we age; the mysterious beauty of nature, art, and humanity all around us; all of these things are contained in Terry Loncaric's deeply insightful and richly rewarding book. This is truly a book to savor as each memorable image unfurls.

--Joseph Kuhn Carey, author of Black Forest Dreams

I am a longtime Terry Loncaric fan, and Poetry in an Age of Panic confirms her place in the world of verse. Whether the subject is personal or global, Terry brings to the page her authentic voice, distinct observations, and joyful exuberance with language. Enjoy this "glorious, unpredictable flight!"

--Jennifer Dotson, author of Late Night Talk Show Fantasy & Other Poems

Loncaric wields the short line to great effect, delivering rich observations of daily life in these poems of family, travels, serendipitous moments, and still life studies--what the poet calls "confetti of these ordinary moments." This is a suite of poignant reflections on life as experienced by a journalist, a poet, a seeker of meaning in the everyday.

--Lynne Viti, emerita, Wellesley College, author of Dancing at Lake Montebello
