Set in the heart of Maine, Judy Kaber's poems build a house from close observation of the world. In this book, you'll find much of the natural world-turtles, chickens, flowers, rocks-but also the human world with its strengths and weaknesses and its close relationship to this wild ecosphere. Filled with original language and astute detail, the poems become a way of seeing, a place of both shelter and challenge.
Kaber's flawless ear for language invites us into a landscape of both sorrow and beauty, a place where we can honor our humanity as well as the wildness of nature and find a reliable path through our turbulent times.
