Sally Stewart Mohney currently lives in Atlanta, USA and is the author of pale blue mercy, as part of Main StreetRag Publishing 'Author’s Choice Series,’ and A Piece of Calm, from Finishing Line Press.
"Salley Stewart Mohney is a keen observer of estuary and ocean,
landscape and flower, birds and weather. She translates her
landscapes, waterscapes, and interiors ('Her Mother's Kitchen'
being one of the gems) into connections with family, loss, and
beauty, creating small, delicate patterns that intrigue and charm.
A child's going away, a father's jigsaw sky, a mother's loss to
Parkinson's, and the wide world in which all things live--here is
the physical and the spiritual at once, touchable and fine."
--Betty Adcock
"Sally Stewart Mohney takes us into a world of remarkable beauty
and threatening terrain. Her weather is indeed unsettled whether
the locale is coastal Carolina storms--detritus flies past: / hair,
wind, sock / bits of tainted bitten heart--to the river Seine where
she scatters ashes from a Paris footbridge. Mohney's water, marshes
to ocean, carry us to the natural world and all its inhabitants in
lyrical and scenic ways. Family stories flow and ebb as does
Mohney's own deeply felt and beautifully told story. Digging in her
garden, she finds her son's old toys--my shoulders folded like
napkins, / knees baptized. Her delicate lines fall like snow in
winter, the silence in just the right spaces, the subtle, soft
build of each poem until we are swept along, so completely, we
forget ourselves, the magical place where every reader hopes to
dwell."
--Diana Pickney
