What The Pause Gives - Paperback

What the Pause Gives invites exactly that-what we can see and feel when we pause to take in the world around us. These are poems about noticing, whatever that pause may be. It's about how meaningful small moments can be, whether they be observations of roots, acorns, trees, skunk cabbage, apricots, dogs, wolves, bears, wind, water, or fire.. Some poems contemplate what we humans do to the world, both when we have a sense of knowing and a sense of how much we don't know, what it is to be hardwired, when we might be tethered, and finally offering Reasons to Survive.
