( We stand on the turtle's back and ask for the wind. We ...)
We stand on the turtle's back and ask for the wind. We fly through the turtle's mind and drink the sky. We walk through the turtle's home and know we are alive with others who are alive. Something like water, something like blood flows through all of us as the sun lifts up its great eye each morning. We do not move through this world alone. Penny Harter's poems mingle patient alertness with animal choirs, reading prophecy in shells, bones, fallen leaves. "Penny Harter speaks with the wisdom of her kinship to the greater biotic community. Her meld of intuition, intelligence, talent and command has resulted in an exceptional and complete collection of poems that reflects great reverence for the spirit of Nature while offering glimpses of the frightening hubris that characterizes our own species. This elegant volume is very important both poetically and philosophically."--Jack Loeffler

Pomes in which the author has captured the secret, self-hating, guilt-ridden, and fearful knowledge that her marriage does not work--and the creative knowledge that it takes to pull herself out of that deep crevasse. Along the way she faces her fears of hurting others and angering her children.
