Reviews
These delightful poems are fresh, joyful, and wise. You won't look out your window upon a robin or take a walk in the woods in the same way after an encounter with these poems. --Will Willimon, Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke Divinity School, Durham, NC S T Kimbrough, Jr. is a remarkable observer. . . . He also loves to celebrate the unexpected side of nature, the quirky and sometimes comic side of animal behavior. Above all, however, his urge to write nature poetry comes from a passionate desire to counter the effects of climate change, of what he calls in one section 'Nature's Demise.' --Richard Watson, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Durham, UK Like the psalmist, S T praises God and expresses gratitude for the gifts of creation available for the nourishment of body and soul with beautiful descriptions that appeal to all human senses. At the same time he emphasizes the responsibilities of humans in the 'need for rebirth' of God's great gift. --Joyce D. Sohl, Laywoman in Residence, Scarritt Bennett Center, Nashville, TN
