"CK's writing is raw, personal, and introspective. I especially resonated with the "Reveries" section. Many of her poems and essays really made me pause and take time to contemplate. My favorites were "Letting My Edges Fray" and "Little Gifts."

As in CK's first book, Musings, Woolgathering, & Ghosts, she touches those parts of us that are often in the shadow needing to express themselves. In Outpourings, she also includes the beginning of her novel which I found intriguing and would like to read more!"

Anne Marie Bennett, author of Sea Glass Memories AnneMarieBennett.com

"CK Sobey's Outpourings is an evocative journey through the writer's "inner chapel." Poetic mini-essays mix with haiku and philosophical fragments that create a lovely collage of contemplations. Sobey eloquently reminds us that "Every day, little gifts are waiting to be realized." Playful and profound, Outpourings is a meditative and absorbing read."

-Lisa St. John, author of Swallowing Stones

"Outpourings is the second volume of CK Sobey's reflections (begun in Musings, Woolgatherings & Ghosts), but requires no prior familiarity with the first book in order to prove entirely accessible to newcomers.

It features the same special blend of personal reflection, poetry, and philosophical musings that marked the first book, but carries these themes into wider waters as Sobey marks her life and heritage with passages of experience and growth that blend spiritual reflection with life inspection. Sobey often writes with an underlying philosophical view. This will attract a wide audience of thinkers who enjoy deeper-level inspections."
