Holy Heathen Rhapsody

Winner of the John Burroughs Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Nature Poetry An award-winning poet who “writes transporting poems of discovery, contemplation, and gratitude” ( Booklist ) Pattiann Rogers has won acclaim as one of the most original voices in contemporary American poetry. The poems in her new collection, Holy Heathen Rhapsody , embrace and embody the forces of the Earth and the creative power of its lifeforms in all the wildness of their varieties. Love in these poems is a force infused with the same creative power and intensity, the purest manifestation of the will-to-be. This vision and its making contend that even a shadow or a floating seed, a frond of green or a midnight spider, even a mongrel dog, wind over water, the human voice, the human witness, peace and weapons, all--every aspect and feature encountered--are fully endowed players in the dynamic music of the Earth.
