Author Description

This debut collection of poetry is an invitation to wander, explore, and peel back the layers of what it means to live within both our external and internal landscapes. How do we create a home within our bodies? Can we learn to love the homes we inhabit through daily noticings of our impermanent environments? What can trees teach us about ourselves, each other? This is a collection of wild words inspired by the ephemeral beauty of the Green Mountain State and the raw experience of new motherhood, though one does not need to be familiar with Vermont or be a mother to locate themselves within these poems. This book is for anyone who has ever been overcome by grief, who has experienced the body's wisdom, who has searched for truth, and belonging, and healing on a walk in the woods, who has marveled at a flowing river. May these poems serve as an invitation to find a sense of home in your place in the world, and within yourself.
