Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. The poems reflect the broadest public concerns, yet remain sharply personal and lyrical, even musical. Some sing the glory of our planet's natural systems and the near-mythological challenges they face, while others hymn natural places and sounds that bring the reader solace. The exception is the penultimate poem, By Azure Huron's Shore, a long imaginative leap into the voice of Walt Whitman, as if Whitman had written about healing the global climate crisis instead of healing the nation after the Civil War.
