A Chapbook For Hilde

By Michael Baughman

These poems briefly encapsulate a remarkable woman's life well lived. In 1960 Hilde Baughman married an American soldier stationed in her Bavarian hometown, Bamberg, Germany. A year later she became a fashion model in San Francisco. Two years after that she began a long life in southern Oregon, and she soon learned to love wildlife and untamed country. The Nature Conservancy honored her with a Certificate of Recognition. She became the cornerstone of an extended family, and in recent years courageously fought two bouts with cancer. Summing a central theme up, as John Muir aptly put it: nature became her manifestation of God.
