“In her latest poetry collection, Marlene Edwards Tidwell invites readers into the lush landscapes of her Tennessee upbringing, transforming the rustic serenity of farm life into a tapestry of words that resonate with the soul's quietest desires. Each poem serves as a testament to Tidwell's lifelong devotion to the craft, honed from the days she spent as a young girl on her porch, translating the beauty of her surroundings into the delicate language of poetry. Beyond the pastoral musings, Tidwell's diverse background, from corporate tax accounting to leadership roles in non-profits and beyond, infuses her work with a depth and variety that speaks to a wide range of human experiences. Now a resident of a Nashville suburb, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, her writings not only reflect the personal journey of a deeply reflective soul but also embody a generous spirit aimed at uplifting and inspiring her readers. This collection is not just a voyage through the seasons of Tidwell's life; it's an invitation to explore the contours of our own inner landscapes, encouraged by her enduring passion for writing, speaking, and traveling.”
