Carole Symer
Poet and Writer
“Radiant, hot blooded, self-assured, and infused with potent energy.”
“In her debut chapbook, Glint, Carole Symer strikes a tone brimming with human warmth, humor, and glimpses of what's real inside the high stakes of a long love story--and oh it's so intensely real! Accentuated by an experimental, minimalist form, she weaves birdsong with sarcasm and pop culture into a sense of how intimacy truly unfolds. There's flashes of insight, along with whiffs of something spicy and hot. Symer will cook you miso soup and make you think of love. You may laugh out loud as you read this work. You will recognize honest truths.”
