Book Synopsis
In life, you ramble along, learn to live with intention, get lost along the way, and often find yourself back where you started. Poems of the Day: The Ramblewood is an individual expression of these lived experiences, finding the beauty in the messy process. It illuminates how our lives connect and disconnect with others; how, in our aloneness, we can connect with nature like an old friend and learn more about ourselves; how we can soak in the sunshine and breathe in the moonlight. These poems are a journey through being human, a woman, a mother and a wife, and they ask meaningful questions about our sense of worth at every step in life-with each step taken through the dewy morning grass. Inside these pages, through the solitary practice of reading poetry, you may discover togetherness anew.
Review Quotes
"This slim volume of thirty-one personal observations (mostly about ordinary domestic issues like marriage and motherhood) brings with it a welcome dose of skill and panache that makes it more than meditation. Walker's writing is sometimes lyrical, sometimes surprising (as when she has to remind herself that she loves the baby, and no, she's not really going to throw him out the window), sometimes simply the passionate love letter to her family at its core."
-Ellyn Bache, award-winning author of nine novels including Safe Passage and winner of the Willa Cather Fiction Prize"Inspirations about Love and Mothering, Divine and Otherwise. A word bath of imagery evoking worshipful submersion in Nature, simple and profound. To the question, 'Where do we come from?' she answers, 'I wish you waves crashing out loud the sound of Peace.' A worthy collection."
-Beth Larson Sherk, teacher, playwright, and novelist; author of The River's Bend
