The Rivers Keep Singing by Alexandra Crivici-Kramer

ISBN: 979-8-218-15349-6

This debut collection of poetry is an invitation to wander, explore, and peel back the layers of what it means to live within both our external and internal landscapes. How do we create a home within our bodies? Can we learn to love the homes we inhabit through daily noticings of our impermanent environments? What can trees teach us about ourselves, other? This is a collection of wild words inspired by the ephemeral beauty of the Green Mountain State and the raw experience of new motherhood, though one does not need to be familiar with Vermont or be a mother to locate themselves within these poems. 

This book is for anyone who has ever been overcome by grief, who has experienced the body’s wisdom, who has searched for truth, and belonging, and healing on a walk in the woods, who has marveled at a flowing river. May these poems serve as an invitation to find a sense of home in your place in the world, and within yourself.

Wood-Solace, or a Return to Belonging by Lisa Lundeen

At a time in her life when beauty felt in short supply, healthcare chaplain Lisa Lundeen turned to nature's bright colors and tidy symmetry for soothing. She began what became a flourishing spiritual practice of botanical photography, often floral portraits, on walks through gardens and woods.

Years later, insomnia struck during the worldwide pandemic, and Lundeen again looked to art for healing. Rooting into her Quaker tradition of sitting in quiet, expectant waiting for the sacred to draw close, this time Lundeen spent the dark hours engaging with words on the page.

Together, these disciplines of attention have become a genre-transcending volume of invitations to go deeper into one's own noticing. Wood-Solace models meditation through creativity, encouraging the reader-beholder to savor each pairing in contemplative, restorative stillness and celebration.

Talking With Trees by Lucia Coppola

Talking With Trees is about how nature speaks to the imagination. It's the story of a magical journey into the garden and the extraordinary adventure of ordinary things.

This is an inspiring invitation to venture and explore. The words are composed so that they move in a perpetual dance with stillness, rhythm, breath, and song. Illuminating poetry and enchanting photography are weaved into a tale that bridges the human and plant.

"Coppola has a fine ear for rhythms and how such poetic movement can create a song within the soul." -Charles A. Swanson, Editor "Songs of Eretz"

"There's so much beauty, depth and thought here. It's a philosophy of life! I started highlighting different lines that spoke to me and then went back and read from the beginning and by the end, almost everything was highlighted." -Kimmen Sjölander, scientist, professor, writer, poet.

Plant Your Words by Heidi Sander and Jamie Nix

Welcome to this sanctuary of plants and poetry. These poems explore the depth of relationships, cross-species and cultural interactions, and the natural world creating a collage of poems, thoughts, complaints, musings, sketches, overheard conversations, doubts, dreams, delays, and expectations of our human lives. Our goal for this slice of magic is to share our most beloved plant companions and enable you to discover yours. Each poem is inspired by a plant from various soil types, climates, and regions.

As this book was a unique collaboration between two poets, we invite you to share your poetry. Each poem is followed by a page open to you for reflection, whether writing a poem or doodling. As this poetry collection touches upon our beautiful planet which we hold so dearly, we hope these spaces for reflection offer you a place to plant your own words and reverence.

“Plant Your Words is a stunning veneration to our plant relatives. Heidi and Jamie have created not only a most wonderful compilation of poems about plants, they inspire readers to write of their own gratitude towards plants, on pages with gentle guiding questions. In the full circle of creativity and life, their book closes with how to make ‘seed paper’ from these pages of readers’ gratitude, to be planted in the ground … bringing life to written words.” -Tiny Seed Literary Journal

“I was left beautifully dizzy in the end. The poems and prompts dug out things I didn’t even know I had tucked away—deep in my heart. Poetry is not dead.” - Meghan Perry, Writer
