Kristin Berger suspends the world and invites us to be a witness to its everyday simplicities and their blooming and unexpected significance. She makes us believe we are deserving of every tiny magical moment. That we can hold life's tender wonder in our very own hands even once we are done reading. Sheri Reed, Editor & Writer These are poems to conjure with. For us, the willing, Kristin Berger tells the natural history of motherhood as tautly, as fiercely, as just plain - well -as I've ever read it. From the roots of beets to the dust bowls of wrens, to the blue highways of birth-ready breasts and the arc of a kid on a bike, her poems travel for the garden, for the world, for all of us. Robert Michael Pyle, author of The Thunder Tree and Evolution of the Genus Iris.
