Rich in humor, truth, and love, Mary Jensen Jones' poems are a testament to a bright spirit and a life well-lived. In these powerful pages, Mary is very much alive, thanks to her daughter, Jenn Jones Nienaber, who frames her mother's work with her own moving tributes. A book from the heart, for the heart. - Sheila O'Connor, Evidence of V Mary Jones was a poet of time and place, firmly rooted in the northern midwest, who wore multiple hats as a woman, wife, mother and colleague. The ache of knowing how fast life goes and how little time we truly have with the ones we love - children grow up, husbands grow ill and die - permeates many of the lovely, reflective poems in Very Much Alive, published by her daughter in the wake of Jones's death. Everyday experience turns to quiet magic in this moving collection. - Alison McGee, Someday and The Opposite of Fate
