The poems in Disturbing the Dust are unforgettable. With precise descriptions Peggy Seely builds a portrait of a person and the scene. Each one packs a punch. The title is well-chosen. Each piece uncovers a memory, a relic of the past. As she blows the dust away, the emotional details emerge, full and strong. In each poem she has created a perfect gem. The tone of the poems range from delightfully light to heart-wrenchingly sad to defiant. The poems cover a wide range of topics, from childhood memories to thoughts about racial prejudices. Each poem, from first to last celebrates the strength of women. As she "disturbs the dust" of the past, she finds that memories of the past can, in fact, "save" us. They show us not only who we were, but also who we are now and whom we can become. ~Betty Eich
