An introspective exploration of people and the world around us, Michelina Docimo's first book, Echoes: Listening to the Voices in Spirited Trees, serves as a window into our own soul and how it relates to others. Interweaving issues of religion, politics, and the environment, Docimo dialogues with local individuals building spiritual and sustainable communities, whose work, words, and actions truly embrace the philosophy of 'think global, act local.' The book is a collection of poems, true stories, and artwork that were inspired by artist Kathy Hirshon's work, Spirited Trees. Echoes compels us to seek beauty and truth about ourselves, our neighbors, and our living environment by reflecting on questions and challenging us to not only find the answers, but to pursue them passionately.
