Lone Leaf Dancing - by Dwayne Cole (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In his poetry, Dwayne Cole brings us along on a journey through the seasons where trees are our companions. His poems go deeper than mere appreciation for these trees. These poems are about friendships with trees and their healing power. Dwayne recognizes the interconnected web of life and that we are indeed in relationship with the world. The relationality of our world is beautiful. Yet, we often take it for granted. The trees share their secrets, and Dwayne helps us to hear. Trees offer us so much when they remain standing. Dwayne's poetry spotlights the eros of the world in his prose full of beauty, passion, and gratitude. His photography helps us see through his eyes and we in turn are inspired. Take this book to a wild place, sit under a tree, and fall in love! -Kathleen Reeves (Kathleen Reeves is an accomplished poet and hospice chaplain who works to build an ecological civilization.
