WMC member Karin Uphoff's Wild Heart "moves through the reader like the seasons, drenching with sunlight and rain. Each nuanced poem reveals how humanity weaves into the flowing energy connecting all things. This chapbook includes poems of the author’s communion with nature as a child, which nurtured a sense of belonging that carried into adulthood where she explores loss and grief, resilience and gratitude with a sprinkle of whimsey and humor. Uphoff’s words call in the quiet power of equanimity and reverence for all life." [www.Finishing Line Press.com]
Wild Heart is available at Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino.
