Nature's Sacred Songs

In this book, Lynne Bachleda, gifted anthologist, poet, writer, offers us a rare treasure. Here are the voices of those who (like Lynne herself) comprehend the deep mysteries of nature, and sing her beauties and profundities into words. Poems and prose reflections from earlier writers (Emerson, Whitman, and poets from ancient eras) mingle with those of more modern times (Annie Dillard, Terry Tempest Williams, and Lynne herself) to remind us of nature's divine purpose as a link to the "secret of secrets," the holy spirit revealed in material form. Nature lovers and deep mystics will nod wisely as they read these selections. Ecologists will find confirmation of their concerns for the planet and all its beings in these loving tributes. Striking in both conception and design, this exquisite book refreshes the spirit as its chorus of voices sound the connection between the earthly and the transcendent, the mundane and the sublime. This is a jewel to hold in your hand, to carry in your pocket, to love and learn from as you go about your business in this world and hum your own canticle to earth.
