Our Words is eighty-two poems that speak of the beauty of creation and our place in the heart of it. Amidst the rush of everyday living it can be hard to find peace; Our Words offers the reader a place to do so, a haven where they can feel the beauty of "solid oak roots woven in earth" and be woven, themselves, back into the rhythms of moon, tides, seasons, and sunrises. Throughout the volume, Barrette reminds us that "We are one." Our Words is a treasure trove for anyone who wishes to begin their day with gentleness and walk through it with a sense of wonderment and appreciation.
