Release Day for Calculated Hesitation!

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!

Calculated Hesitation is now available at Amazon, Kobo, Google Books, Barnes and Noble, OverDrive and more!

Back Blurb:
Calculated Hesitation is a collection of poems exploring the hesitation of a questioning soul, and the way life and art intertwine to birth defiance and strain for the resolution of that hesitation. In this collection, you will find a mix of poetic styles. Come and pause with the author, take part in the questions and explore their answers.

Early Reviews Excerpts:

“Calculated Hesitation (isnโ€™t that a great title?) is a collection of poetry centered around themes of modernity, contentment, and art/creating.

Van der Kroef mostly uses everyday language and syntax to express her thoughts, so her poems are deceptively accessible while her themes are deep. Sheโ€™s not afraid of rhymes, but her rhyme schemes are gentle and donโ€™t take away from the joy of each poem as a whole. Because of her rhymes and use of alliteration, van der Kroefโ€™s poems are fun to read out loud.” – From Priscilla’s Review on GoodReads

“This is a lovely book of poems and really touching ones in it. It is hard to play favourites as some will touch you right when you need it most. These poems are often for the right occasion and touch in the most loving ways. I will be sharing this book with friends as they will be helpful in their ministries and also in general life.” – Tianne’s Review on GoodReads

Cover Reveal/THE BRANCH THAT I AM

It’s really happening! I am so excited to announce the final cover design for my upcoming chapbook.

Cover art by Mary Grace van der Kroef.
Original watercolor design on watercolor paper.

The Editing process has stretched me. There were tears, and procrastination and frustration. But I am so thankful for the process. I have learned so much from working with an editor, and I am proud of what we have accomplished for my first release.

I don’t have a set release date yet as final formatting needs to take place, but look for it before a pre-sale date announced in the next few weeks, with a release date in early November. (That is the goal.)
