A beautiful book-length sonnet comprised of forty-nine poems, exploring life in all of its phases. Door to Door is a celebration of accident and grace in a world where wonder is too often supplanted by obligation. This collection of poems is split into four parts roughly corresponding to the author's life phases, touching on her experiences of childhood, family, motherhood, and aging, as well as her reflections on art, love, loss, and the mysteries of the natural world. Award-winning, best-selling author Emma Walton Hamilton's love of language is evident throughout; her voice is playful, at times reverential, and always interested in the magic and imagery of the subjects she tackles.Review Quotes: Emma Walton Hamilton's Door to Door contains an exuberant range of poetic forms and structures and with it her willingness to try just about anything. (Billy Collins, US Poet Laureate)
