Solace: Poetry of Nature

by Austie M. Baird (Editor), Kate Petrow, Megan Patiry

Just as poetry is more than the words that writers pen, nature is more than just the world around us - both are intracule parts of us. We invite you to join us as we journey through the lives and emotions of these 9 talented writers, giving nods to the notes of nature that harmonize our souls. "Nature means being whole. When I pause in nature, I feel spiritually connected to something great and mysterious. I want to make my mind so quiet that I can feel its fullness within myself." jaYne "'I've always felt an affinity with nature; its wildness and wisdom. I find poetry in its seasons and cycles. In all of its realities and metaphors." Lauren Kaeli Baker "Nature has always been both a teacher and a sort of medicine for me. I feel like now more than ever, it is the place that tempts my heart to wonder in an increasingly complex and distraction filled world. It is the place that points me home." Elowen Grey From the back of the This anthology is dedicated to highlighting the the intertwining magic of poetry and our natural world. Each of the 9 poets contained within these pages were selected because of their own personal affinity with nature.

I am so honored to share these pages with the amazing and talented poets in this collection!

Nature has so much to teach us. Every season has fruit to offer, even when the trees are bare.

Solace: Poetry of Nature is all of nature's wisdom and beauty in poetry form. Every poet in this anthology expresses their own relationship with nature in their unique, honed voice. And like nature, the poetry in Solace ranges from serene meadows asking for your ear to storms demanding to be heard. And if you are not a fan of winter or dread the rain, I swear, these poems will make you fall in love with both. They'll make you see any season, climate, and natural phenomena in the most golden light.

This is a timeless and stirring collection I will come back to over and over again.
