Love Is A Place: A collection of poetry

WINNER! The 2012 USA Best Book Award in the General Poetry category. Finalist in Poetry category 2012 International Book Awards. In Love is a Place, Arlene Sundquist Empie's passion and life experience conjoin to create a powerful collection of poems that cast new light on love and place. Whether she s observing the shenanigans of coyotes or the mating dance of Diamondback rattlesnakes, her careful descriptions and rich imagery give us renewed appreciation for the natural world and all its inhabitants. In poems that range from the Upper Sonoran desert to her home by the shores of the Salish Sea, she reminds us to heed the call of Nature. Listen she says. Their songs are here. The beat goes on. Empie s a trustworthy companion. Take her with you on your next trip. See if you, too, don t begin to hear their songs. Holly Hughes, Beyond Forgetting: Poetry and Prose about Alzheimer s Disease.
