Some poems whisper an earnest attempt at finding peace in sacred spaces, nearly all paint beautiful tableaus so we can reflect with the poet about the importance of awareness. Many make effective use of line breaks and white space, allowing us to pause and breathe as our eyes move down the page. This is a masterful collection of poetry as meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Hutchinson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Editor-in-Chief, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eEast on Central: A Journal of Arts and Letters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and author, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Matter of Dark Matter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and others\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving toward delight in the natural world is crucial in these poems. In \"Spring Is a Strong Verb,\" there is no gentleness, but \"fierce energy\" that defies gravity. \"Fern Room, Lincoln Park Conservatory\" ends with something deeply physical: \"and deep within one's core \/ the pull of the earth pulses.\" In \"Aubade,\" the poet watches her spirit rise \"on this day's updraft.\" In \"Belonging,\" she asks, \"How can I learn to listen to this land?\" By the poet's stillness and receptivity.
