The Wilderness That Bears Your Name - James A. Pearson

These poems walk with you through seasons of heartbreak, rebirth, and homecoming. \n \n\n \nDrawing on the strength of the natural world to renew itself each spring, this debut collection from James A. Pearson doesn't flinch from the moments when life comes crashing down. But it's not stuck there, either.\n \n \n\n \nEach poem meets you with a gentle faith-that just like the trees and the ferns and the summer foxgloves, you carry within you an inextinguishable spark of life. And when you find your way back to that spark, new seasons bloom.\n \n \n\n \nOnly there will you find\n \nthe tiny seed\n \nthat holds the whole mystery of you\n \nand cradle it\n \nin the warmth of your body\n \nuntil the spring.\n \n \n\n \n-from the poem Wintering\n
