Walk with this book to find some of the unexpected places where
poetry can flourish. Discover poetry growing "where it can," in the
infinite and in the microscopic: in the "star-gazing,
star-thinking, star-dreaming...Milky Way," and "in minute invisible
architectures...of snowflake sculpture reality;" in mountain passes
where "gold leaves spill and spin like doubloons," and in the
grizzly, "hunger-hearted and ugly, a horrible beauty, / a hairy
breath of berry-laced and blood-hot red, / hunter and hunted, and
hated;" in the city where "birds...survive to sing about sun- /
light straining through the gritty breath / of New York," and in
wilderness that has "no nakedness," that is "lovely because it is
empty."
The poems in this anthology first appeared in "The Amicus Journal,"
the quarterly publication of the Natural Resources Defense Council
(NRDC). Selected by the journal's poetry editor, Brian Swann, they
represent a broad array of responses to the natural world--from
warning to celebration--by some of the nation's most distinguished
poets. Included is work by American poets Wendell Berry, Michael
Dorris, Denise Levertov, Mary Oliver, Pattiann Rogers, and William
Stafford, as well as work from poets in Australia and Mexico. All
grapple with issues of nature and the environment from the
perspective of the final decade of the millennium.
These poems remind us that we can be dazzled both by nature and by
the poetry that explores the natural world.
