Coreen Davis Hampson's 'Growing Smaller' is her first collection of poems. Her poems are rooted in the images and rhythms of the natural world. They are personal and experiential, addressing cultural and environmental issues. Whether speaking of hurricanes, family, aging, music, or hummingbirds, her poems map landscapes of memory toward horizons of reflection. Hampson embraces all that it is to be human and leads the reader deep into the present moment.
