My newest book is now available for pre-order from Flower Press!
Out April 22, The Verse for Now is my ninth book. This meditative collection asks us to accept ourselves as planetary, at once vast and cosmic, while equally small and animal. As we witness the flames and floods of climate crisis, what guidance might exist in a moment of contemplation while kneeling beside a rushing creek, walking Midwestern streets, writing poetry, or sitting with an old growth redwood? Even in the dark days, I’m trying to understand what it means to trust, praise and honor the earth. These poems uncover divine tools of transformation, uplifting the practice of relationship with people and planet. The Verse for Now sings of interconnection and agency in an expansive universe, where together we create the endless story of life.
