A Resting Place is a poetic exploration into the places where we seek out peace in times of anxiety. The poems were written over a 15 year period and are witnesses to the author’s solitary moments in nature. We also find in these poems how the need to know about ourselves through nature is still important, as it was for Emerson or Thoreau a century and half ago. The book’s structure imitates nature’s cycle, beginning with spring, passing through all the seasons until that moment of rebirth.
