Description
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where I ought to be . . .
~Shaker Song attributed to Joseph Brackett
The simple pleasures of our favorite places in nature are gifts of the spirit to be shared with others. In this collection of 53 haiku, each paired with a nature photograph, poet Liz Gauffreau invites readers to come with her to some of her favorite places in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Some places are long-time favorites going back years; others have become favorites by virtue of inspiring poetry.
