Colleen Anderson is a perfect example of authenticity in art. True excitement is triggered by a writer who sees each day as an energy source, and who knows what she came here to do. There's not a single lump under the lines of these sweet dynamic mechanisms about love, loss, nature, and family. Of course we know these are classic scenarios for poetry; but with Anderson the world is given new life. Each poem is a painting we enter, and when we leave we're made different by genuine experience. The quiet voice of Colleen Anderson, with its synoptic pruning of language, leaves us the spectacular hot star of authenticity. That's who she is. -Grace Cavalieri, poet, playwright, and host of The Poet and the Poem from the Library of CongressColleen Anderson's wonderful collection of poems, Bound Stone, will have something for everyone. From the tight, delightful lyric poems reminiscent of Kay Ryan to the longer narratives of the natural world akin to Maxine Kumin, Anderson fills her book, and our ears, with the musicality of waterfalls and pianos, birdsong, and human talk. We find sonnets and free verse, traditional and slant rhyme. The themes of love and loss, grief and joy, the comfort of friendship and the changing of seasons, both internal and external, echo through the poems. In "Canoeing in Fog," Anderson notes, "It was dark and bright at once." That's the way it is with these poems. But we're paddling through currents of language, not fog. -Anita Skeen, poet and director of the RCAH Center for Poetry at Michigan State UniversityColleen Anderson's poems are like spirit houses. With each poem Colleen invites us to enter and consider our place in the world. I say we because the poems are deeply communal and steeped in universal human love and loss. Beautifully crafted and grounded in sensory images-the osprey, the sky, the river, the cloud, the deer-we are buffeted by time, yes, but never lost or alone. Like the bound stone of the title poem I felt marked by water and salt. Read these lyric poems cover to cover and you will be spirited and etched by song. -Jane Vincent Taylor (janevincenttaylor.blogspot.com), author of Pencil Light

Come forward, view this body, where choices bring or force people to the brink.Mind Over Matter: eight stories examine dark obsessions, consuming lust and the consequences of choices that can twist the mind to its own desires or bring release.Under the Skin: eight stories where the quest to master devices, environment or worlds leads to battles of survival that devour or shape into something new.Savory teeth, sentient insects, deadly automatons, VR worlds, ensorcelled blades, nanotech healing, possessive fungus, gingerbread people, prophetic soap bubbles and more: this Body of Work is a stitchery of tales, a strange creature that is alluring, disturbing and thought-provoking.

We are now entering a ''Span of Time'' of the greatest hour for His Church wherever they my be! His Mighty Grace, Power, Provision and mighty works, flowing like a mighty River throughout the earth!

"Throughout history, the Lord has had those who somehow desire Him more than life itself. Those who will dare to follow regardless how it looks, or feels, or what radical obedience might bring... She has broken the alabaster box, washed His feet with her tears, dried those precious feet with her hair, and rejoiced the entire time." Max Evans, pastor Living Water Ministries "The journey and adventure of her life ... is a clear picture of God's redemptive grace, love, and supernatural power to equip a saint for the lifelong destiny put upon her life ..." Pastor David Bendett "Created by a lifetime of experience, our dear sister in the Lord has given this generation hope for the future as she relives the faithfulness of God through Christ Jesus our Lord ..." Samuel L. Brassfield Harvest International Ministries, Inc. I believe it was never the Lord's intention that I have a large platform, but He made it clear that I would write a book, giving me the title in 1988. In 2009, God the Holy Spirit said, "It is time," and gave me the assignment, with directions and a mandate for the first of February 2011. I trust this act of obedience to share our journey, relationship, secrets, and mysteries of the kingdom, will be a brushstroke upon the portrait of the face of Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven that is being created by countless others in the body of Christ. And that will bring forth a Bridal Company/Sons of the Kingdom that will continue to transform the generations! Colleen Anderson Living Water Ministries
