This local poet and first-time author draws inspiration for her work from the natural world, and sees her writing as an extension of her career as a therapist. Framed around different stages and seasons of life, the poems in this volume invite the reader to observe and appreciate the many forms of life above us, below us, and around us. This little book is a great example of the big ways in which writing and reading thoughtful text can have beneficial effects in our lives—something participants in her poetry and nature workshops discover firsthand.
