Ruth Cassel Hoffman's debut collection of poetry draws on images from nature to open the reader's eyes to the beauty, the awkwardness, the deep sadness-everything that is right or wrong-about daily life. The poet moves from garden tomatoes to death, from lightning bugs to impermanence, from a funeral to an affirmation of life, from a doe in a marsh to hope. She seizes incidents and moments and unwraps them before our eyes. Transformative, powerful, wry, or funny, these poems offer new ways to see objects and events and explore how we find our place in this world.
