<h3 style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"><strong>“</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Martins Deep, in <em>A Sheaf of Whispering Leaves</em>, writes from a place of meditation on the scars left by the past on the present. From where he stands, he sees the past and those things and people beloved to his heart, which did not make it into the present time. He sees what was, what is, and what might have been and he writes from a vantage of this trinity.</p>
