About the Book

This anthology unites 25 poets from BC and beyond under the theme of Wild Nature. The authors in this collection seek to capture their impressions from the perspective of being within nature, both as keen observer and quiet participant. They pause long enough to breathe in their surroundings and to relay their experiences in words and images as they strive to do justice to the entities and elements they encounter.
