Betty Laird

Here it is The poem book you have been asking for: TOAST (Light, Medium, Dark, and Burnt) by Betty Laird. This is a collection of Betty's poems, selected largely because of their popularity with readers of the Lawrence Journal World, in which many of them have appeared. For those who like fiction, or near-fiction, readers will find several short stories as well. "True poets speak a language different from that of regular mortals, yet Betty Laird has managed, in TOAST, to use her simple, but eloquent, language to touch deeply the heart of anyone who reads her work. It's a rare and wonderful gift." --Esther Luttrell, author of Between Heaven and Earth.
