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
This was a beautiful collection of poetry! I couldn't bear reading one at a time through the year and read the whole book at once and it felt like a journey through the seasons, through life and the changes that come with both while moving through this world. I got the sensation of witchy Mary Oliver vibes but in such an authentic expression of author and poet, Joanna. Looking forward to reading this again!
