Boundaries

The full moon listens

as Rose, Kasia and Hannah’s mysterious harmonies

pierce stillness. Few stars provide shadowed hints

of my ancestors’ loose dresses

as they sit on porch steps, playing

hand drums and tambourines. A smile

traces Rose’s lips when we hear

hundreds of fluttering wings. Owls, she whispers.

They perch in branches that measure black boundaries

between wild and home.

"Now, in gratitude for living close to wilderness, and as a salute to my mentors, it’s time to pass along the power that lives inside stories and poetry."

“I allowed myself time to savor a small set of poems daily at quiet times. I felt at peace… The Shore’s Absolute Edge will be shared and it has a home near my books by Terry Tempest Williams, Linda Hogan and other women nature writers.”

Gigi Stafne, Director of Green Wisdom School of Natural & Botanical Medicine

“I am so enjoying The Shore’s Absolute Edge. It is really marvelous - so close to the earth… Meinrad Craighead would have loved these poems.”

Amy Dosser, Film Producer, Praying with Images

“The Shore’s Absolute Edge is a fine accomplishment, many keen perceptions.”

Betsy Bowen, Woodcut Artist
