Jerome Prairie Creation Myths and other Farm Tales

<p>Lisa E Baldwin's second poetry collection Jerome Prairie Creation Myths and other Farm Tales comes from her experience as a lifelong rural Oregonian and her love for the Lower Applegate Valley where she has lived since 1966. The poems here celebrate a deep love of the natural world--poems about trees birds rivers skies wind seasons Earth; and there are poems that grieve for the losses inflicted on our natural world by the climate crisis and on-going human exploitation of the planet. Some of the poems started as stories she told her young son others are drawn from stories she was told as a child. All are connected and held together as a collection by a keen respect for our home planet. </p>
