Dancing Moons Signed By Illustrator

by Nancy Woods, Frank Howell (Illustrator)

The world is hard up for the simple things that abound in nature. We long for what nature can reveal, the essential truths that connect us to the core of life itself. Following the spiritual philosophy of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, who have been her teachers for over thirty years, Nancy Wood shares her awareness and appreciation of the complex, magical world around us. These poems and meditations, following the Twelve Great Paths of the Moon, reveal old, enduring truths that may help each of us on our journey.

The preface is quite wonderful. The poems are so earthy and beautiful. They often speak of simple things, of nature and animals, but they are powerful, wonderful and amazing poems.

These poems actually remind me of the type of poetry I write. I love this poetry book. The words are beautiful, lyrical and peaceful. I recommend this to everyone who loves poetry.

"each thing in nature is gloriously alive, giving us a clear reason why the creator put it there"

I don't love the poems in this collection, but I do see how they could be useful in a unit about Native Americans. The illustrations are great. (Poetry)

I believe I have gone all the way through this one. There's one poem for each full moon/month.
