Welcome: Poetry and Mind Prints

By Carol Lee Kelly

Carol, known as Kelly, is both a visual artist whose paintings are poetic and whose poetry paint a magnificent picture. Her dual talents complement and compliment the other. Such talents are rare. -Charles Ruben, Author of ‘Don’t Let Your Kids Kill You: a Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children’ and ‘Leaning on Thin Air’, a novel

In this little treasury of gems, Carol Kelly crafts profound insight into each brief selection. Her work, so rich and meaningful, should be savored slowly, in order to fully nourish the soul.
-JoAnne Goldsmith, Educator

Carol Kelly’s sensitive writings broadened my views of nature and encouraged a deeper respect for differences in people. Her thoughts, sometimes humorous, also induced an examination of self as well as the acceptance of the realities around us. Each page is a pleasant, enjoyable journey, –George Evans, Educator and Author of Romantic-Historic & Inspirational Short Stories
