Sleepy Hollow to New Hampshire-and Walpack In-Between: New and Selected Poems by Kerri Nicole McCaffrey

Produktbeschreibung

NJ Poet BJ Ward compared Kerri Nicole McCaffrey's poetry to the writings of Thoreau and Mary Oliver. Exploring the age-old veil that many of us find between our everyday lives and our hoped-for lives, Kerri Nicole McCaffrey's poems explore the mysticism we can all find right in our daily routines if we look deeply enough and give ourselves a chance. This collection arises from countless hours spent in contemplation about her own life journey-one that saw her cross the gender line at great risk to her family and career, and embrace the new life she found on the other side. Much of Kerri's discernment was done far from cell phones and noisy highways while in wilderness areas and on mountaintops-replete with quiet beauty. McCaffrey's poetry is hauntingly beautiful and will challenge readers, in the most enchanting of ways, to find both the beauty inside themselves and that which can be found in nature.
