Laurel Poetry Collective Anthologies
NEW! The Quiet Eye:
Thirteen Ways of Looking at Nature
The Laurel Poetry Collective welcomes you to this new collection of poems, addressing the broad topic of “nature” from the broadest of perspectives.
Heraclitus said, “Nature loves to hide.” So, as poets, we have sent out a small search party, one that has scouted a surprising variety of pathways to nature’s keep. With a quiet eye, observations were brought into clarity, turned this way and that, and brought home to this book. The environment and its peris sit shoulder to shoulder with the beautiful and the spiritual. Hope, most of all, is at the center of these efforts.
The Quiet Eye ($12) is available through Amazon.com.
