"Winter's Promise and Other Poems" is a collection of poetry by Eric Palmieri that takes the reader through natural landscapes and everyday New England life. Palmieri's plain and simple style of poetic prose is heavily influenced by the Spiritual practice of the New England Quakers, which emphasizes silent worship and contemplation. His debut publication, "Winter's Promise and Other Poems" won First Place (Medalist Winner) for poetry at the 2015 New Apple Book Awards for Excellence in Independent Publishing and also received an Honorable Mention at the 2015 New England Book Festival.
