Overview

Drawing upon a long and immersive experience hiking around Lake Tahoe, as if to return myself to the sea, explores the interconnectedness of the body and mind with the natural world. As if to return myself to the sea asks for a redefinition of home, a shifting of perspective and place, and a way for memories in the mind to become experiences in the body.

"""Richards' poems are an immersive travelog with a blood imagination, a love letter beneath open sky, exposed to the elements, where all poetry is self-help, is the collapse and ballooning of a self like a lung. Her poetic pulse reveals emotional biomes, without turning away from the spirit's gash, testing her idea that nature is not the cure, just the medicine."" - Dot Devota, Author of And The Girls Worried Terribly ""Kristen Noelle Richards' as if to return myself to the sea is a love letter to wanderlust. It is a collection of poems that collides the mundane experiences-capturing them in an essence of divinity-and the existential ruminations that sometimes plague us as human beings. Kristen Noelle Richards' debut is a heartfelt, warm hug to the wanderer, globetrotter, and gypsy in all of us."" - Flor Ana, Author of A Moth Fell In Love With The Moon ""This book is for every wild woman who is still trying to find purpose and self-love, and growing roots between the modern world and the natural one. Richards' poetry reminds you that you're not alone and that the only way to discover your place is to keep trekking, exploring, and reflecting until it starts to make sense."" - Annie Vazquez, Author of My Little Prayer Book: 75 Prayers, Poems and Mantras for Illumination ""as if to return myself to the sea beholds a beautiful intuition that is observant, delicate, and striking in its connection between the natural and human condition. It possesses a thirst for wonder and bewilderment unlike anything I have experienced."" - Finn Mott, Author of Call Me Disturbing: A Story About COVID 19, Cancer, Relationships, America, and Hope ""Kristen Noelle Richards brings an immersive experience to my body as I read through her poems in as if to return myself to the sea. I melt into the earth around me as if I too, am returning myself to the sea. Her words stretch my limbs over mountains and oceans and make me feel even more, that I am purely a part of nature."" - Kendall Hope, Author of The Willow Weepings"
