Tread Softly

Více o knize

After living on the Arabian Peninsula and the Tibetan Plateau, in the Everglades (as a poet-in-residence), in Macau, Thailand, and Chengdu, China¿a city so polluted the sun seldom breaks through the smog to shine¿Diana Woodcock now follows Christina Georgina Rossetti¿s mandate, ¿Tread softly! All the earth is holy ground.¿ This, her third collection of poems, was inspired by it. Perhaps for a poet who grew up memorizing nature psalms of the Old Testament and singing "This is My Father¿s World," it was inevitable that her poetry eventually would take a turn toward ecological concerns, merging her spirituality with her love for all earthly beings.
