The relationship between the natural world and those occupying it forms the basis for this intriguing collection of lyrical poems by Christine Redman-Waldeyer. In this world, which is growing increasingly smaller, foreign influences exert major and far-reaching impact upon indigenous cultures and environments. The poems in this collection delight in the revelation of the wonders of the natural world. Inspired by travels to Jamaica, the author, guided by life-long residents, explored still-wild regions and was inspired by their beauty, untamed, complex, and mysterious'. Through her unique perspective, the author presents a view of external and inner states, using the delicate balance of nature and our effect on it as a departure point for her writing. ?Patricia Florio Colrick is an author of several books on NJ History.Redman-Waldeyer, Christine is the author of 'In Fields of Dandelions Plucked Is the Poet?s Paintbrush' with ISBN 9780595282678 and ISBN 0595282679.
