Beautiful and heartfelt, this book of poems is sincere and genuine. The author speaks of nature and the world outside. I’m inspired by the descriptions of what she sees and what she knows. There is so much to explore! This is a book to read and to share with friends and family. ❤️

I loved this book. Reading in my sunroom I felt myself drifting off to my favorite hiking trails, lakes and rivers. It is rare to find a book that can bring you back to the places that you enjoy when you aren't able to be there in person. I am sure I will be picking it up and taking that mental break many times in the future! Thank you!

Do you connect with nature to refresh, replenish and to heal? In Outside[r]: Poems and a Poet at One with Nature Dominique Miller skillfully crafts her art to reflect such splendor. A book to revisit again and again.
