Mountain Offerings - E-book - ePub

Through interactions with and the examination of the natural world, poems in Mountain Offerings move from a youthful voice to a more experienced one, showing a coming-of-age in partnership, parenthood, loss, and the development of independence and self-awareness. The simplicity, beauty, and peace of the outdoors provides an ideal vehicle through which this poet explores complex human emotions. From the poem "January in Vermont": The stars always shine brighteston the coldest of days, a reward just for making it. Mountain Offerings is accessible, honest, poignant, and-rooted in nature and the natural world-earthly.
