Poetry. Molly Weller gives us these moments, almost in passing, that we can go on with on our own, they don't stop at the end of the poem but continue on in our reading. It's like you are walking down a path and each poem tells of a moment on that path. Sometimes she gives us a startling image as in "mountains its way to the sea." This work includes her time in Australia as well as her time in Colorado and Oregon. This is a work that celebrates her closeness to nature; it is a journey both physical and spiritual and it is written with a sure and beautiful command of the language.
