Brand New Book! Hot off the Presses!
ALMANAC: THE FOUR SEASONS takes the reader on a journey via the vehicle of an almanac, traveling through the year, season by season. Nature predominates the scene; an occasional human pops in to enjoy the view. Join the author on a jaunt through seasonal wonderlands filled with flora and fauna: winter, spring, summer and fall.
Praise for Almanac: The Four Seasons
"In language that bubbles with energy and keen observation, Joan Huffman records the passage of seasons. Almanac: The Four Seasons is not a calendar book dotted with human celebrations. Instead, the year comes alive through “a pie’s plenty of blackbirds,” “a drift of swallowtails,” and a sycamore “moisturized by morning rain.” With a realism that is refreshing, humans are non-dominant, their appearance as harbingers of season tucked in among the abundant life of the natural world. Look closer, these poems urge, and each season will open its secrets and delights.”
~ J. C. Todd, Rita Dove Prize in Poetry winner, author of The Damages of Morning
“Joan Huffman brings her observational skills that are usually in service to the art of medicine to poetry of the natural world. Her almanac of affectionate poems arranged by season are balm to those weary with the human world and show the inherent power of healing contained in nature.”
~ Beth Phillips Brown, author of Book of Enchantments
“Joan shows her true flexibility by including many forms of poetry, while also breaking free with open verse. Coined terms (Starcicles), alliteration, varied viewpoints, let’s not forget the clever cover, and general verbal chicanery make her the uppity author I enjoy.”
~ Mar Startari, President of High Country Writers. Wordsmith award-winning poet.
