Böcker av Emily Newberry

Wisdom is written everywhere, but will we know how to read the signs that lead us to the answers we seek? Every path leads somewhere. Whether to ocean, forest, or grasslands there is truth in every step. But who speaks? Our past or future, the grass we trample, sand dunes with our footprints washed away by the next tide, or trees whispering in the wind? We can write down notes to record each thought, but then we must kill the trees whose shelter we seek. These are the questions and revelations Emily Newberry explores in the poetry of Signs. "Put this truth-telling book in your pocket or bag; you will want to keep these poems close." -Annie Lighthart, author of Pax "Compelling, elegant, and remarkably honest, Signs paints an intimate portrait of identity and the ever-present need for empathy..." -John Sibley Williams, author of The Drowning House "Contemplative and corporeal, this is Newberry's finest." -Jenny Forrester, author of Narrow River, Wide Sky: A Memoir
