North Carolina writer Maureen Sherbondy has published her eighth book of poetry, 'The Art of Departure.' Sherbondy, a Raleigh, North Carolina fiction writer and poet, is a previous winner of the North Carolina Poetry Council's 2013 Oscar Arnold Young Award for North Carolina's Best Book for The Year of Dead Fathers (Spring Garden Press, Greensboro, NC).

North Carolina writer Ruth Moose describes Sherbondy's new collection: 'Power. Pow! Her! These poems will punch you in the heart, grab your mind mightly. Sherbondy wears Wonder Woman boots and they can kick you alive with love, loss and just plain living. She's 'touching fire to land once kissed and tended,' 'a scarecrow swallowing a wallow of stars.' She's iron fisted, heavy hammered and she knows her name. You will too. Stunning work from a poet whose praises cannot help but be sung.'
