Description
"The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we really live, so that the longer we can stay among these things, so much the more is snatched from inevitable time."
As you'll find out, these words best describe the beauty that is this anthology. Divided into three parts: Earth's Voices, Transcripts from Nature and Sospitra; each poem carries a deep passion and appreciation for the earth. One that will leave you appreciating nature in ways you didn't think possible.
Sharp writes in a captivating tone. In each poem he paints a vivid picture, pulling you in and inviting you to wonder just as he has. If you are a lover of poetry or, like Sharp, you are enthralled by the wonder that is the universe, this is the perfect read. Especially on a warm, quiet night under a dark and starry sky.
