On the Advice of Rumi

This first book of poems captures a vivid world of nature, transcendence and luminosity found in the very ordinary. A place “tangled and thick sewn together with honeysuckle vines” and where “native sassafras’ mottled hands point down in prayer to dust brown earth.” The poems are filled with the raw wildness of being mixed with the inner magic of an open heart. They are the result of a life fully lived where the air is thick and hurricanes routinely visit.
