About the book: In this inspiring and lyrical collection, Sara Letourneau looks at our world and one’s life experiences with empathy and wide-open eyes. The book allows us to inhabit terrain that is physical—the shores of Cape Cod, the lava fields of Iceland, parks in Massachusetts and New York City—and emotional. Poems about grief, love, and mental health coexist with poems about travel, spirituality, and the natural world like flowers in a nursery. Wild Gardens shows us how to live with wonder, perceptiveness, and gratitude for the extraordinary and the everyday.
