Balancing the Elements: Poems - Helen Boyles

The poetry in Balancing the Elements delicately intertwines encounters between nature myth and homo sapiens: seal Selkie and poet meet in shared space; the albatross accepts our peace offering in a glittering bay. The collection is full of awe placing the human being as a bystander in nature absorbing its messages histories and mysterious workings: the tides the seasons the interdependence of animal and plant tree and light are all here.
