Belongs to the Earth: nature poems - Paperback

by Carol Hill Marks (Author)

Carol Hill Marks's third book of poetry digs deep into the subsoil of great nature, and comes up with images that help us access unexpected wildness. She would like to know what the crickets are actually saying, and would not mind if a panther settled in the woods nearby to keep the deer population down. Her nature poems remind us of our connection to the earth as well as to the cosmos. Each one could serve as a focus for daily meditation.Marks is also the author of two other collections of poetry: You Know Where We Were, and I Dreamed I Met Vermeer.

Author Biography

Carol Hill Marks lives in a rural place and spends a lot of time in the spring listening to the frogs. She likes to sit on the front porch in her bathrobe in the mornings, writing in her special notebook with a fountain pen. She has a certain kind of relationship with chocolate that she is renegotiating. Her favorite mountain is Mt. Adams, in Klickitat County, Washington, and she thinks a good cup of tea is a powerful healing force. Marks can occasionally be found ranting at www.carolhillmarks.wordpress.com.
