| Publisher Description: The ties that bind us -- to each other, to our earth, and to the creatures we share it with -- is the subject of SONGS FOR A BELOVED FRIEND. This volume of philosophy and ecology in the form of poetry is serious, funny, and quirky, often at the same time. These poems and essays celebrate nature -- human and wild. Topics explored include Yellowstone and our national parks, animals, dogs, the spheres of the universe, and the human place among them. "In lines that delight in the landscape, probe the heart, find a spiral galaxy in the whorls of a fingertip, Glickman's poetry is rich and wise. Her serious themes are punctuated by observations as witty and precise as a New Yorker cartoon---a pleasure to read." Mike Keefe, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist, The Denver Post |
