by Carol Mikoda (Author)

Each of the four sections of this book, Wind and Water, Leaf and Lake, includes poems that closely observe the day-to-day phenomena of those abundant elements, focusing on one at a time. Traveling beyond mere observation, the poet connects what she sees around her each day with her own thoughts about aging, about grief and gratitude, about her place in the cosmos. She describes the flora and fauna of the Finger Lakes in her own unique descriptive style that brings the reader close in to lakes themselves, the forests around them, the weather that affects all. The weave of sparking image and inner thought is calming and at the same time evocative.
