Grounded in a deep love of Earth and all its creatures, Arrival gathers Cynthia Anderson's lyrical poetry of place into a deeply satisfying volume. Her closely observed experiences of oceans, forests, and deserts reach the transcendent level of myth. Imaginary landscapes are here also, evoking a mysticism that travels backwards and forwards in time. The poet's words sing off the page, inviting readers to take refuge in a realm where grief and loss are acknowledged, but where beauty cannot help but prevail. Poetry lovers will find life-affirming words to inspire and uplift them in Arrival--an invitation to see our extraordinary world through new eyes.
