Product Description
by Amy Wright Vollmar (Author)
The 50 poems in Follow invite the reader to stray, along paths made by water or deer, into a nearby wild. Through Ozark Mountain forests haunted by crow and coyote, these poems smell of wet limestone, sing with hidden warblers, and resound with surprises--a jawbone, a keyhole of cave, a nameless waterfall. With 14 photographs illuminating its pages like light through leaves, Follow encourages readers to map their own trails of spirit and wonder. The poet notes in her artist's statement, "Wherever we walk--and connect with nature--there is poetry to discover. For me, the joy in that connection often slants into mystery. I need poetry to explore the ledges, the unseen within the caves, the waterfalls without names."
