Böcker av Frederick Livingston

Industrial culture casts humans as parasites: devouring our living home. Yet endless metaphors exist. Other cultures and species widening spirals of abundance show us we are also fruit: gifts from the Earth to our future. Whether the edge of our lives, civilization, and species is a cliff to catastrophe or a bridge to our higher selves will depend on the seeds we sow in the soil of this moment. The quality of our seeds does not arise from wealth or technology, but through the unending labor of personal and cultural transformation.

These poems gathered to discuss rhythms as urgent and Earthly as rain, as heartbeat, as ripening fruit. Rhymes of waves within tides within lifetimes. They weave a rope from place, time, and emotion. Because everyone, sooner or later, needssomething to hold on to."Inspired and inspirational verse...Highly recommended!"-Dr. Maja Trochimczyk, President of California State Poetry Society, President of Moonrise Press, and author"With astounding wordcraft and an unceasing sense of wonder, these poems take us on a journey that spans the planet, and the heart...This is a book to put in your backpack, or keep under your pillow. These are poems to devour slowly, on a train heading into new and mysterious lands."-Wess Mongo Jolley, author and editor"The coherent love of synched sounds and related themes ties together the variety of density and light-like walking through forest, into meadow, and back-in ways that can keep contemplation and delight alive as you go."-Don Freas, poet, designer/craftsman, sculptor
