Publisher's Synopsis
Drawn into the fields through Patricia Helen Wooldridge's meticulous observation, our minds breathe alongside the poet's. Within the spell of these pages we find ourselves in a world with a different notion of time and change. We find ourselves in the moment. A maven of attention, Wooldridge's acute reflections make each seasonal shift fresh, each creature and plant precious and beautiful, each encounter with the natural environment unexpected. And, as we open ourselves to this world through these poems, our humanity and passion for this ailing and extraordinary planet can only be enlarged, compelling the reader in turn out into the field.
