Of Roots, Shoes and Rhymes

The 28 poems in this collection are from the heart of C.L. Gillmore. Some of you may know her as a teacher. To others she is a neighbor, a wife, mother, friend or colleague. Now, she s a poet and author. Everyone has a different life journey, but few are able to capture the moments, memories and ideas in words. Gillmore's poems cover her life experiences from pain in childhood through the true friendships of young adulthood to a career in service to the most special kinds of children. As you read or listen to Gillmore's poetry, you may discover her truths exist also in your own soul.
