Living on the Earth
by Kathleen Kirk
"These
smart, elegant poems—speaking to us sometimes in the voice of a lover,
once in that of a resurrected body, occasionally as if from within a
flower or from a crater on the moon—invite us to see the natural world
and ourselves with renewed wonder and delight. And they move us to see
beyond the known world so as to engage with yet another level of pleasure
that can only be called spiritual. They are lyrical love poems to the
earth and to our human capacity to cherish it." --Bill Morgan, author of Sky
With Six Geese
"Kathleen Kirk's poems remind us of what a gift and mystery it is to reside on this living entity called Earth. Sometimes she is astute observer, sometimes grateful inhabitant of the very objects she writes about, but always the bearer of ;a very necessary message. As she writes, 'It's hard to give up/ a belief in kindness/ when even the heads of wildflowers/ bow down in the yellow rain,/ when a whole bean field goes gold/ in the push to harvest.' These are poems for a wounded world so much in need of kindness." --Judith Valente, author of Discovering Moons
