Window Ledge
"The poems in Window Ledge are a raw, unadorned testament to what has been done and is being done human to human, and human to animal, plant, fowl, and fish. They express a kind of fatality combined with awe at the mysterious power of compassion that transcends everything. The poems in the first section of the book feel their way through life, on feet, on paws, on wings, and with their fins. The second section carves deeper into what we crave, what we cannot escape, and inevitably what we must make peace with. The final section describes the paradoxes of wholeness that include moments of not knowing, of utter stillness, of surrender and acceptance. These are not the poems of a young woman. They were written as the poet rode the tumultuous waves of life and found shimmering unexpected joy in the midst of indescribable pain."--
Arborophobia
Arborophobia, the latest collection by award-winning poet Nancy Holmes, is a poetic spiritual reckoning. Its elegies, litanies, and indictments concern wonder, guilt, and grief about the journey of human life and the state of the natural world. When a child attempts suicide and western North America burns and the creep of mortality closes in, is spiritual and emotional solace possible or even desirable? Answers abound in measured, texturally intimate, and often surprising ways. The title sequence, named for a word that means "hatred of trees," sassily blurs the boundaries between human beings and Ponderosa pines, reminding us how fragile our conceptual frameworks really are. Another sequence responds to Julian of Norwich’s writing and call "to practise the art / of letting things happen." Saints’ lives interlace with our quotidian experience, smudging connections between the spiritual and the earthly. Taking a hard look at what we have done to this beautiful planet and to those we love, Arborophobia is a companion for all who grapple with the problem of hope in times of crisis.
