Stones Ripe for Sowing

Libby Bernardin's poems summon a landscape of vivid imagining-her birds, skies, stars, and wind. Yet these are not merely poems of the outer natural world, no matter how beautifully they render it. Stones Ripe for Sowing has immense inner life and displays the power of the poet as seeker, showing us how to "forage in hard and doubtful places." -John Lane
