of Tulare County, lay dying but began dictating "Apparition" a few weeks before she finally stopped breathing."It was peach time August
And we worked so gladly
And the dim packing shed
from The Fresno Bee: Tulare County poet laureate kept writing until the end

I have been an admirer of Wilma McDaniel since the early '80's. I think of her from time to time, but seldom sit down to enjoy her talent.
I agree with those critics who say that her choice of words is always perfect. Also there is never a wasted word in her poems.
Her poetry speaks of pure life. The joys, hardships and reality of daily living--whoever you are, wherever you live; what you encounter and treasure.
Ms. McDaniel has brought me hours of enjoyment and awe. I'm so glad that I "found" her and her talent
