Turtles All the Way: Poems by Rosemary Douglas Lombard

Born of a reverence for the natural world, informed by many years of scientific and hands-on study of turtle behavior, and guided by the ancient wisdom of poets before her and by the poet’s own musical ear, these richly complex poems by Rosemary Lombard remind me there is still wonder to be found in this world. They remind me that our human intelligence is not the only avenue toward deep understanding. They fill me with awe. Reader, these poems—with their deft wit and fresh new ways of looking at all that we take for granted—will dance their way into your heart.
