"Each and every one of these beautiful poems can be related by the reader to any number of the worrying situations facing our planet during this period. From global inequalities to health catastrophes, terrorism and global warming, this is very easy poetry to relate to if you are of a certain character... Samantha L. Terrell is a voice of reason. In amongst all the chaos in one of history's most turbulent moments for decades, she makes absolute sense. Throughout, our poet has raised many important concerns in her beautifully crafted, flowing and emotionally charged text. Yet, despite all of her questions unanswered, Terrell aptly concludes by leaving us with a small glimmer of hope. But, that is after all, the nature of wishing wells..." Review by Stephen J. Alexander
