About

I am a native Floridian, buthave traveled to many of the United States during my growth as a woman, wife, mother, sister, Christian,quilter, and poet.  Life is too varied,exciting, disappointing, adventurous, tragic, and comical not to write aboutit.  My poetry reflects my life, myemotions, my dreams, and my faith and continues to emerge in unexpected spurtsat unexpected times. 

Publication has not been atop priority in my life; although, I have been published in various anthologiesand small press magazines and newsletters over the years.  In recent years I have self-published fivebooks of poetry:  A Pure and Simple Faith, Garden of Faith, WhereMemory Lingers, Crazy Patch, and Haiku for Lovers, as well as helped myfamily complete two family anthologies titled FamilyMatters and Family Matters Vol. II.  All of my books areavailable on Amazon.com or from my website at http://www.ruthnott.com.

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<div align="left"><font class="size10 Helvetica10" color="#ffffff" face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><strong style="color:#111111;">A review by Kye Faithfield, author of <em>&quot;Healing the Rift&quot;<br /><br /></em><br />Ruth Y. Nott's first book is what she terms &quot;inspirational poetry&quot;, an expression of her own creative inspiration as well as her wish to inspire others through it.  Her poems are, as characterized by the book's title, &quot;pure and simple&quot;—so simple, in fact, that they have an aura of innocence about them, a childlike wonderment at the aspects of life which have touched her own, whether good or bad, happy or sad or tragic.  The verses, essentially informal rhymes, may reflect meaningful periods and events in her life.  </strong><br /></font></div><div align="left"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><font class="size10 Helvetica10" color="#ffffff" face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><strong>Ms. Nott calls her gentle lyrics &quot;word-dancing with God.  The 66-page work allows her faith and love to shine through while also acknowledging the doubts we all sometimes feel.  In her poetry, Ruth emphasizes that, in a world filled with temptation, disappointment and heartache, God's love and support are still available to us all.&quot; </strong></font>
