Joyce Winslow's poems offer a wider perspective, glimpses of magic underlying the mundane. Each poem is an act of quiet noticing, meditations arising from observations of nature and life's many cycles.

Those who enjoy the poems of Naomi Shihab Nye, Wallace Stevens, and Rumi will find a kindred spirit in this book.
