Produktbeschreibung
The 50 poems in Follow invite the reader to stray, along paths made by water or deer, into a nearby wild. Through Ozark Mountain forests haunted by crow and coyote, these poems smell of wet limestone, sing with hidden warblers, and resound with surprises-a jawbone, a keyhole of cave, a nameless waterfall. With 14 photographs illuminating its pages like light through leaves, Follow encourages readers to map their own trails of spirit and wonder. The poet notes in her artist's statement, "Wherever we walk-and connect with nature-there is poetry to discover. For me, the joy in that connection often slants into mystery. I need poetry to explore the ledges, the unseen within the caves, the waterfalls without names."
Autorenporträt
Amy Wright Vollmar was born in southern Illinois and can sing numerous folk songs about frogs, dogs, and mules. Luckily, she also went to Monmouth College to study Yeats and Eliot. Now she lives in Springfield, Missouri, and has learned how to write poetry in a kayak (tip: use a mudproof notebook). She works with first graders at Phelps Center for Gifted Education, because first graders like poetry and mud, too. Vollmar's's poetry has previously appeared in Elder Mountain and Cave Region Review.
