By Hand Unseen: A Poet's Words for a Reader's Pen

We become the artists we are intended to be whenever we accept the invitation to enter deeply into life through creation, whether by writing, painting, dancing, weaving, throwing clay, composing music-any medium of life observed and lived in relationship. Our expressions are the fossils of our inner experiences. By Hand Unseen is Martha Bartholomew's fourth collection of poetry and her second collection to be subtitled A Poet's Words for a Reader's Pen. Her previous book, Turned Corners and Juniper Berries, allowed ample space for readers to record their own journal responses to her poetry. Once again, she welcomes readers to interact with and respond personally to her poetry by creating their own journal entries in the book.
