Items related to Pails Scrubbed Silver: Poems
"In the poems of Pails Scrubbed Silver, Sandra Duguid stands poised on the back porch where she smells the rain and the match struck in the kitchen to cook supper. She sees the shining Pepsi sign, the heavy peonies, and the elegant iris. She asks her reader, ‘Can you imagine?’ and then with sure insight and shining words, she makes imagination possible. She reveals the full richness of the life hidden in the ordinariness of every day. I am grateful for these poems of revelation, grace, and hope.” ―John Leax, author of Recluse Freedom and Tabloid News
