Bøger af Joanna Brook

With a poem for each week of the changing year, Between Two Pines invites you into the magical life. Created in a spirit of collaboration, Joanna Brook's richly descriptive poems lead you through garden and forest to creek, stone circle, and the cosmos of relationship. "These poems invite you, Reader, to create and write poetry, too. They act as path, portal, mirror. There are poets inside each of us, and Joanna shapes (and then shares via the poem's speaker) a life through this impulse . . . Joanna returns repeatedly to the altar of the creative process and, therefore, builds an altar of the poems themselves."From the Introduction by Kate Belew
