In A Rose Wood Wandering

In a Rose Wood Wandering is a collection of poems, stories, meditations, and reveries that explore facets of the word and the idea of Rose. It roams through gardens, orchards, and forests burgeoning with large and small members of the family Rosaceae, visits women named Rose, and even looks at rose-patterned china teacups and silver spoons with roses on their handles.. The book reflects the author's intense interest in the world of plants. As a friend of hers once said, "She has a love affair with trees." Not only trees, but shrubs and flowers, as well as lowly wildflowers that some dismiss as weeds. She has a special fondness for the family of roses.
