Magpie Mornings

By Lora Liegel

In Magpie Mornings, Liegel's poems illuminate a natural world that crackles with hope and wonder. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, Liegel casts light on damp forests and rambling river edges hurriedly unfolding before us, where silt is born from stone. These poems show us what there is to see, touch, and taste, if we are willing to pay attention with keen curiosity and an open heart. Liegel takes us on a tactile journey of self-discovery that rises above sentimentality. The mysteries of family, motherhood, and loss unravel amidst blackberry brambles and drying sunflowers. These observations lead to wise awakenings. Liegel shows us that we are not separate from nature, but an expansive part of it. These poems encourage us to discover where the past collides with the present in the light of morning.
