In the words of a reader Luis Martinez, "In Sight of the Aspen Grove" is an enchanting experience. The imagery throughout the book is vivid, with the Aspen trees serving as a beautiful, almost symbolic backdrop to the unfolding narrative. The writing style is engaging, and the emotional depth of the poetry really stands out." The Author, Mary O'Loughlin Starkweather writes the poetry to remember the serenity and healing aspects of walking in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. She grew up in the orchard filled lands of the Santa Clara Valley, earning her teaching credential at Cal State Northridge. Later she moved to Colorado with her family in the early 2000's.
