Book Description
Suzanne Cottrell is a student of and lover of nature, as evident in Solitary Walk, where she says, "Wonderment of woods embraces my being / releases me from worldly demands." She spends much time observing flowers, trees, birds, and whatever else is in her path, be it on the beach or a walk in the woods in search of edible mushrooms, with "a burlap bag draped over my shoulder./ Relentless foraging for a spongy, tree-like fungus." Her poet's eye for detail provides us with vivid descriptions of her world as in Sea Sparkle, "Algae, glittering malachite and / lapis, tiny sequins on an / elegant, satin, ocean gown." She can be concise when appropriate, including several verses of haiku. The reader will enjoy these lovely poems in this collection of vignettes of verdant landscapes Suzanne has witnessed in the wide world of nature and recorded for us. Wes Sims, author of When Night Comes and Taste of Change Just as a painter renders a lovely image with a brush, Suzanne Cottrell paints nature images with words. A meteor streaks across the sky, illuminating a mountain lake. A trout rises to a deer hair fly cast on a pool at the South Toe River. On a Caribbean beach, "Sips of blue, raspberry slushy/chill my mouth, a sapphire ice cave, /so cold it burns my throat like blue /lava flow that colors my tongue." The images delight both ear and eye and the reader will want to turn to these poems again and again. Ray Zimmerman, naturalist, photographer, and author of Healing and Conflict With a naturalist's attention to detail and knowledge of local plants, Suzanne's writing reveals her knack for observation, connection, and reflection, even in everyday experiences. In this collection of poems, she shares personal experiences of nature in spring and summer that her readers will find comforting in their familiarity, like letters from a friend.

A Gift
Author: Grace B. Eleazar
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504927125
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This book of poetry says it all. A Gift is divided into four sections, and each section has poems that fit the flavor of that section. The gift comes in the insight that accompanies each poem. There is nothing preachy herejust a deep reflective sharing. In Natures Ways, the first section, you can feel her love for nature. It is this love of the environment that is one of our key resonances. She shares her life lessons interwoven with the tapestry of nature. Part two is Love Principles. I am an incurable romantic. My heart soars when someone receives so deeply and gives so profoundly. She is nuanced in her relationships and has a quite profound affinity for cosmic forces. Part three is The Past. In this section one has a sense of her soul traveling through life, her aspirations, and her relationships. One feels the intensity in which she lives life, the depths of her giving, and her capacity for love. Part four, Life Principles, is exactly that. One can feel the prisms in which she captures life. Nuanced in and out, this section offers the wisdom of perception and reflection. Old Soul. Grace Eleazar is an old soul, as is evident in her reflections on life and her longings. One senses the maturity of a well-traveled soul that has learned to take life without pettiness or bitterness but goes deep despite whatever pain its lessons offer. The Gift. This is such an appropriate title for a book wherein the author bestows gifts for life itself. On every page and in every line, she gives of herself in the honesty of her sharing. One can live life and then go on, or one can live life and make that life a gift. This is in essence what The Gift is about. It is my honor to be the authors friend.

A Season of Flowers (Tilbury House Nature Book)

Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
Michael Garland (Daddy Played the Blues) displays his impressive illustration range with the stylized, country-quilt, digital collage illustrations of A Season of Flowers. Snowdrops and crocuses yield to tulips and hyacinths, then dogwood blossoms, iris, lupine, daisies, morning glories, daylilies, geraniums, peonies, sunflowers, roses, and chrysanthemums as spring passes to summer, then autumn. At last the garden slumbers into winter under a blanket of snow, preparing next year’s procession of blooms. Like actors crossing a stage, flowers narrate the passing seasons in the first person, each one briefly proclaiming its unique and vital role in the natural world. Backmatter descriptions complete this child’s introduction to a garden year, in which the passage of time is vividly realized. Fountas & Pinnell Level L
