Overview

The poems in Each Time, a Forest speak to the reader from the world that sits behind the world, a world that comes into dreams, during times of illness, and at the end of life. It also considers times of deep change when we may be living among packed boxes, or when the impact we face from climate change and other challenging events in the world take center stage. Here, bears, sheep, stars and forests come close in a way that opens the door into a deep wisdom, one which may help us in finding paths through the ordinary world and its sometimes extraordinary difficulties. This collection includes the pantoum Water and Straw which earned first place honors in the Poetry category of the Soul Making Keats Literary Competition.

As I read Each Time, a Forest, the words surrounded me, held me, taught me, both evoking and invoking moments I have some acquaintance with, as well as those that are probably in my future. To walk in a forest of someone else's words is a gift. -Beth Stewart, a human living with loss, love, and gratitude Each Time, a Forest is one of those rarest books that gifts its reader truly original ways of seeing. The poems are wise, often profound, sometimes playful, always beautiful. I do not say this lightly: Each Time a Forest is possibly the best book of 21st century poetry I have ever read. -Ann Pancake, author of Strange As This Weather Has Been Carol Tiebout's vision--visual, sonic, tactile--stands uniquely on its own. To get inside of Tiebout's poems is to experience another world. It is the world of the professional caretaker. Of a human-turned-animal at night. The world of relationships, in-and-out of dreams, the movements of the ocean and rain and skin. Wherever we are, we are fully, incomparably present with Tiebout's speaker and therefore more present with ourselves. Reading this collection, I went into the forest and came back out again, wholly changed. -Jeanine Walker, author of The Two of Them Might Outlast Me
