The Garden of Eva John E Carson

"The fog crept in on little cat's feet." This line from Carl Sandburg's Chicago poems, one of Eva B. Carson's favorite quotes, was not only a reflection of the country's love of Sandburg's "Everyman" style, but Eva's love of simple description and a well-turned phrase. Her belief that plain words, meter and rhyme could be melded into meaningful insights into the human condition is evident in her many works. Like Carl Sandburg, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost and Edgar Alan Poe, Eva's use of verse, however simple in appearance, often opens a window to peer, not only at the meaning of life, but into the depths of the soul as well.
