Description

Poetry inspired by lessons learned from paying attention to the natural world, featuring landscape photography by the author. The poems were written over the past several years, in particular during the beginning of the global pandemic in 2020, when shelter-in-place orders led to more time spent outdoors exploring the wild places and natural landscape of California's beautiful central coast. Color photographs of Carmel Beach, the Carmel River lagoon, and Big Sur are included as a form of memory, reflection, and inspiration.
