About Seldom Purely:

"Wordsworth called the most precious moments of his life 'spots of time.' Linda Haviland Conte's poems in Seldom Purely record a lifetime of such moments, made memorable through the telling art of these deceptively 'little' poems: Each piece, as she writes in 'Sorting Things Out,' with a story."
—Lloyd Schwartz
