And Yet

This collection gathers poems from the Redwood Writers group and shows the many sides of everyday life in Sonoma County, California. Its verses come from the members themselves, so the book reflects the feelings and skill of a local writing community.

Two local artists, Linda Loveland Reid and Rebecca Smith, created the cover art, which adds to the book's regional character. The editors describe an ongoing effort by the group to keep refining its craft, and they present these poems as part of that process.

The introduction opens with a haiku by Issa, and the book takes its title from the pivot word that follows it in that introduction.
