Meaning of Mountains: poems - Paperback

by K. K. Cherry (Author)

Composed with a voice of authenticity, this collection sings with a celebration of nature. These poems, crafted by visual artist and poet K. K. Cherry, illuminate a path for the reader through some of the more sublime landscapes of the Rocky Mountains, the small and hidden places so often overlooked. Cherry's stylistic use of punctuation and enjambment, and her love of alliteration, create a lyric and meditative tone that resonates in the places where we come to befriend ourselves. Consistent in candor with her nature poems, her personal antidotal pieces from childhood paint poignant scenes from a rural America that is not so much hidden as it has vanished.
