Spring in the Woods

About the Book

This cycle of poems honors the emergence of Spring deep in the rolling hills of western Georgia. Join the author as he records in verse the turning of a season as viewed “from a cabin on a hill, perched aside a valley, burrowed deeply into a granite cliff face overlooking a gently burbling creek.” The slow unwrapping of buds from their winter slumber – the tender new growth stretching out into the chill, and trees turning from somber grey to being covered with sparkles of jade – is painted with sweet, lyrical homage to the season. Experience the vital intensity of this remarkable transition, this bursting of dormant energy that only the lucky see up close over a very short time. You too will be heeding the call of the dove, “Come back to the woods.”
