Description
Delight Is a Field unfolds a world of women exploring, pondering, celebrating, and reimagining their connection to natural, wild places (field, meadow, prairie, wetland, ocean) and what inhabits them (celestial bodies, animals, plants, and fungi). These poems reveal the complexity and duality of women's lives filled with discord, chaos, longing, worry, loss accompanied by love, wonder, reverence, mystery, and magic that echoes the seasons' cycles of change. Four poets contributed to this collection: Donelle Dreese, Karen George, Nancy K. Jentsch, and Taunja Thomson.
