Through the lens of Colasurdo's poetry, you will also relive the volcano eruption on May 18, 1980, followed by the continued regeneration of this special place. There Is Always a Volcano Before You is a lasting gift left by this poet for anyone who loves the Cascade Range as much as she did. Early Praise: "This book is a treasure! Christine's keen observational powers and understanding of nature give us rich glimpses of volcanic beauty and wonder." -MARCY COTTRELL HOULE, wildlife biologist "The poems in this book live as Christine lived, savoring history, natural history, memory, sensation in place, and a grace-filled singing imagination to knit all these to the page." -KIM STAFFORD, author of As the Sky Begins to Change "Each poem is an original encomium to the mountain Christine knew and loved and never stopped loving. If you thought you knew Mt. St. Helens, or never did, seek here to find her-you need look no farther." -ROBERT MICHAEL PYLE, author of Chinook & Chanterelle "Christine's writing is a gift to us all, splendidly painting the cherished pre-eruption landscape of Mount St. Helens and reawakening a magical place remembered through her living legacy." -ALYSA ADAMS, Washington State Parks Mount St. Helens Visitor Center "Her poetry guides us through those dark ashes back into the light, weaving a common and luminous thread throughout nature's extraordinary creations." -LAURA J. (BERRY ) BERNARD, Harmony Falls Lodge Inn Keeper, 1974 -1980
