Poet Jack Veasey writes, "Christine O'Leary Rockey's deftly wrought poems draw from impressive resources: a finely-tuned lyric ear, a penchant for aphorism, a storehouse of haunting images, and a lifetime of sharp insights into human nature and experience. is a philosopher is a plumbing of the depths of the history of the Bible and classical myths.
