"Judith Partelow's poetry collection, Passion & Provocation, is a must-read for any woman who has lived and loved.

Partelow uses musical language that sings her emotion: "Tropical ma-an/pulsates to a calypso beat." In a tender moment, the author ponders the life of a mother: "an endless tune/we dance to all our lives." She chronicles past relationships, old loves and new, while drawing the reader in with sensual images that celebrate her children and her own younger self. These are poems to savor for their astonishing beauty and contemplative vision."-Robin Smith-Johnson, Author, Dream of the Antique Dealer's Daughter, and Gale Warnings Passion & Provocation is an invitation to explore the many colors of Judith Partelow's poetry; a tapestry of threads woven through tender longings and joyful celebrations of love, friendships, marriages, family bonds, the soul, and other themes of a life well lived.
