Book description
These poems walk with you through seasons of heartbreak, rebirth, and homecoming. Drawing on the strength of the natural world to renew itself each spring, this debut collection from James A. Pearson doesn't flinch from the moments when life comes crashing down. But it's not stuck there, either.Each poem meets you with a gentle faith-that just like the trees and the ferns and the summer foxgloves, you carry within you an inextinguishable spark of life. And when you find your way back to that spark, new seasons bloom."Only there will you findthe tiny seedthat holds the whole mystery of youand cradle itin the warmth of your bodyuntil the spring."-from the poem "Wintering"
